DUE TO BAD COOKING.At eight years of ago the total num-
ber _f carious temporary teeth is muchgreater than the total of sound ones,which figures exclude thoso teeth whidhare prematurely lost. At tbe same agethese children havo normally four per-manent molars in the mouth, and one-fourth of these were found alreadydecayed.
At thirteen years of age the generalcondition of the teeth is appalling. In70 per cent, of the mouths were fromone to sis "unsavable*' teeth; 50 percent, of the children had from nineto nineteen decayed permanent teetheach. Although the causes of decayin the teeth have i-ot as yet beenthoroughly investigate.!, there is n ndoubt that the reason why the teethof this generation are so much worsethan those of the preceding ones is tobe found in the change of tbe food andcooking.
Nowadays all the food we eat isscftenerl by cooking so much more thanformerly: in earlier times it was morefibrous, and the process of masti-cation which was necessary thennaturally cleansed the teeth. Our foodnow, so far from acting in this way,tends to adhere to the teeth and stickthere.
Worst ot all the changes is the onefrom wholemeal to ultra-white steam-baked bread, which forms the star>lediet of many elementary school chil-dren. It destroys the last hope ofsound teeth, since it is in no way crisp,and so the stimulus for masticating thefood and using the teeth disappears.
It is surprising the number of chil-dren one notices in a day's examina-tion on whose teeth are the remains ofthis spongy bread.
This leads to the most obvious andeffieipnt remedy., which is te encouragothe "cult of the toothbrush."
Th.ro are practically no school chil-dren who use toothbrushes regularly.Even those who possess and claim touse them only do so at intervals, andtar from thoroughly. To effect an im-provement it would he necessary forteachers to pay individual attention toeaVh child, and to insist upon its teethbeing brushed regularly and well.
The other necessary step is the in-ception of school dental clinics for thepurpose of treating decay in the teethimmediately it appears. We havefound that to be certain of restoringtho mouth to its perfect state, evenonly regarding tho permanent teeth, itis necessary to 6tart with the childrenbefore eight' years of age. After thisthere aro .o many unsavable teeththat only a proportion of the childrencan be efficiently treated.
By taking the children before thatage and excluding tho few who haveteeth defective in form, and by treat-ing them periodically as required, itis 'certain that they could leave scbooland start life with a serviceable setof teeth.—"Daily Mail."
A STATE DENTIST.
Much can be said both for andagainsttlio case of physical deterioration, butin regard to the teeth it must be ad-mitted that the present race is infinitelyworse than any preceding one. In fact,so prevalent has dental disease now be-come that it assumes a national aspect,and demands as full a consideration asother jerious preventable diseases whicbin these days are combated and allevi-ated, not by individual effort alone, butby tho State as a duty.
The "man in tho street" connects de-cayed teeth solely with toothache, andwhen one offends him las it taken out,or else he calls it neuralgia and suffersagonies with as much resignation as isin him.
This, however, is only the fringe ofthe subject; many diseases which-fillourhospitals to overflowing with patientsare the outcome of decayed and septicteeth. Particularly is this so with dis-eases of the digestive and respiratory>rgans. Nor is this surprising whenone consider, that in every mouth arefound many kinds of bacteria, oftencomprising those of the chief and moatmortal diseases of mankind, inoludingtuberculosis, pneumonia', etc. ,
DISEASE IN BAD TEETH.No better medium could be fotind for 1cultivating bacteria than a decaying
tooth, placed as it is in constantlywarm and moist conditions, and nothingcould be more injurious than to retain,a. many people do, twenty or evenmore of these danger areas in theirmouths. Moreover, tho nerve or pulpof a deoayed tooth which is not treatedmust sooner or later die and form pua,which is discharged into the mouth;
With several 6uch teeth in the moutha person.is certain to suffer from severegastric troubles, that aro aggravatedbecause the food cannot be masticatedproperly, and in many cases this leadsto the body being so debilitated that itcannot withstand the slightest attackof disease, and succumbs.
Medical men areunanimous in ascrib-ing much of tho disease which they arecalled upon to treat directly to diseasedteeth. Professor Osier, of Oxford, hassaid that, "If I wero asked whichcaused the more physical deterioration,alcohol or decayed teeth, I should un-hesitatingly say decayed teeth."
Tbe only reliable method for obtain-ing statistics for a large .number ofadults at present is from the publishedarmy returns. Last year forty-eightrecruits per 1000 were rejected solely onaccount of the unsatisfactory conditionof .their teeth.
This is nearly double the proportionthat is returned for any cause except-ing lack of height and chest measure-ment.The standard of dental efficiency is
yery lenient, aud a recruit is not re-jected on account of so many teeth be-ing decayed, but because of havinglost a specified amount of his "grindingcapacity," and consequently only theback teeth are concerned.
Such a condition is serious enough initself, but is made doubly so when oretakes into account the number of menwho are rejected by the recruitingofficers themselves, and are not includ-ed in the published medical returns.
EXAMINING 3000 CHILDREN.A successful recruiting sergeant inthe provinces, in giving his figures for
five weeks' recruiting, sbows particularswhich are astonishing evon to a dentist.Ho had to refuse 31 per cent, in thatperiod for bad teeth alone, and after-wards tho medical officer rejected <_further 7 nor cent, for the same cause.
In several places and in severalcountries statistics have been carefullycompiled regarding school children'steeth. It has been proved that at least90 per cent, of the children havo de-cayed teeth.
At Cambridge a step farther has beentaken, due to the efforts of Dr. GeorgeCunningham and a private donor, andan effort ia being made, with the sup-port of the Borough Council, to treatas many of the children as possible whohave been found during an examina-tion of the schools to ueed dental treat-ment. .
Of 3000 children, whose ages rangedfrom two and a half to fourteen years,examined, only 2.4 per cent, were foundto have perfectly sound teeth. Thismeans that, under ordinary conditions,practically every child would be doom-ed never to have the means for per-forming one of the most importantfunctions of the body throughout life.
Without a competent masticatingsystem children cannot obtain the fullnourishment from their food., and inmany instances of underfed childrenthis, of itself, must have appreciableand lasting effect-.
More convincing still are the detailsof the examination. One- in three ofall the children had free pus in themouth, discharged from one or moredead teeth. Particles of this pus aroejected into the air, particularly dur-ing speaking, and help to vitiate theatmosphere of the school and to lowertemporarily the mental capacity of allpresent.
TRAMWAY CONSTRUC-TION.
WORKS CONTEMPLATEDThe ratepayers having decided in
favour of the majority of the loan pro-posals submitted at the recent poll,there is some speculation as to whenaction will be taken by the TramwayBoard to put the various works inhand. The chairman of the Board (MrH. Pearce) was seen yesterday by a"Press" reporter, and gave some in-formation which may bo of interest.
Mr Pearce said that he proposed tolay a report before the Board on Mon-day nest, and if he could get the mem-bers to take the same view of matter-as ho did himself, some of the workswould be put in hand at once. The.Board had a number of rails and sleep-ers in stock, and probably there wouldbe sufficient to lay the permanent wayalong Windmill road. The engineer,witb the secretary, was going into thismatter, and their report,would comebefore the Board.
Mr Pearce added that his .proposal'was that the Windmill road andColombo street north lines should beput in hand as soon as possible. TheBoard was going to make an effort todo something to relieve the congestedstate of the labour market, and tlieconstruction of the permanent way ofthese two lines would assist. "If we dothis," Mr Pearce continued, "tbe lineswill be lying idle some time before be-ing used, and the Board will have tokeep the road in repair. The poles andother material wo will have to import,so there will be very little labour inthatpart of theconstruction. I think,seeing we are a local body, that itwould be better to do this work if pos-sible, ior tho sake of helping, oventhough the tracks will lio Idle for afew months."
Should the Board agree with MrPearce's suggestion the construction oftho two lines will in all probability bocarried out under the Board's control.The Board may at its next meetingconsider whether the new lines gener-ally will be constructed by contract orby tbe Board.- Personally, Mr Pearceis in favour of the Board doing thework itself. The Board will also con-sider what steps are to be taken toraise the loans authorised.

Bloodless PeopleNeed More Blood.
*More Blood Means more/ Strength and Good Health.
$Weak, Languid N. Z. Woman
Cured by a BloodMaking Tonic.
There's only one way lo cure Anemia, orb'.oodlesscesE—only one—increase the bloodsupply. Don't lows sight of that point It iaa medical certainty that health and vigorousstrength depends upon good red blood tonourish tho body. "When they have a betterblood supply anaemic people will find thatthe listless tired feeling, lack of appetite,headaches, backaches and nervousness havegone. That's another certainty, because theyare miiy symptoms. Then how to get moreblood. Simply Dr. Williams' Pink Piils—that's what they are for. They actually con-lain tlie oaly ingredients that will combinewith s'ood and oxygen to make red blood cor-puscles. There's Ihe case of Mrs E. Southall.corner Vauxhall aud Burgess roads, Devon-port. Auckland, which is a pretty fair ex-ample of what they will do in Arjiemi..
"I was always inclined to be delicalc," saidMrs SouHi-U. "My appetite was never good.Sometimes I couldn't keep down what foodI had taken. My hands were clammy andmy feet cold. I could not stand for long, myankles and feet felt so weak and puffed up.I had nervous shooting headaches tnat nearlydistracted mc. They lay in the temples andon the top of my he«d mostly. Sometimes Ihad attacks of Ir.diges.tion. My eyes wouldgo unusually bright, and my mouth was al-ways parched. The least surprise brought onhysterical fits. I hadn't the strength to doany housework. I'd be tired out in a. fewminutes. I was just nervousness itself. Theleast sound would start mc trembling. Mycirculation was very feeble. From any cutin my finger, for instance, the blood wouldbe light and waterey, and hardly run at all.My back often ached so much I'd have to goand lip down. My heart wou'd palpitatewildly without apparent reason. I slept veryrestlessly. I was subject to Neuralgia also,but a'! theso troubles yielded to a course ofDr. .Williams' Pink Pills. I tried themthreo years ago. After the third box I feltso much better that I left them off and tookthree more boxes later on. They toned udmy system wonderfully. I feel quite a dif-ft>rent woman now, and am glad I triedthem."
Wh.m you *sk for Dr. Williams' PinkPills don't be put off with anything else. Oowhere, you can get the genuine, with Dr.Williams' name on the outside wrapper, it's(he genuine that cures.

THE EMANCIPATION OFSARAH.
Beuno L'essing, in. the "Cosmopolitan."The conquest of tho United States
of America by Isidor.Adamowsky be-gan some fifteen years ago, and whileit is not yet absolutely complete it isprogressing in a fashion that isfectly to Isidor Adamow-sky. 'How it will end no human be-ing, of course, can ,predict. The odds,however, are in favour of Isidor. In.witness whereof deponent deposes asfollows:—
Isidor's father was a rabbi in Galicia,and. Isidor was reared in true orthodoxfashion, -tho Law and tho Prophetsforming the greater part of his dailyintellectual diet. He. not only knewthe Mishna and Gemara by heart, buthad been dipped into the cabala, andby the time he was twenty years old hiswhole trend of thought and his philo-sophy snd ideals reflected tho wisdomof generations of rabbi's. What theyreflected even more than' that, how-ever, was tho influence of his mother,a qiiiet woman who devoted but littlotime to religion or philosophy, whoplayed a minor jp-rfc in the household,;and who occupied herself "but;little'with tho affairs of the.world. , Fromher. Isidor inherited.a strong physique,
■a quiet manlier,'- and an: . appallingamount of will-power. And when his-parents died-and the persecutions grewunbearable these three qualities coni-binod to .form a resolution, a nice,quiet, and strong resolution: ho wouldemigrate to America, become rich,marry, and conquer the country;
He came. He saw. And he foundwork in a tailor's shop. 'The story of all those Avho flock tothe East Side is, in- the beginning, verymuch the same. ' Isidor worked six-teen hours a day, attended tbe syna-gogue .egularly, savod his . money,slowly but 'steadily, apd bent all his-energies to the task of learning Eng-lish. Lacking linguistic talent,, andhearing nothing but Yiddish spokenaroxmcl him, the task of learning Eng-lish- from a book was extremely diffi-cult and trying. But ho made pro-gress. And one day -he bade farewellto the tailor's shopl, purchased a cart:and a supply of clothing, and set outfor -himself, as an independent pedler.
Ho prospered. Within a year heowned two carts, and within two yearshe had opened a small store *in Canalstreot, with his name in gilt letters onthe window. In these two years ~. benever failed in his attendance at thesynagogue and never ceased his effortsto master English, which be now spokewith considerable fluency. In the be-ginning his work had occupiefl all histime, but with growing prosperitycame a certain amount of leisure that,at first, he was quite at a loss to em-ploy. It occurred to him, quite sud-denly, that he had made no friends inthis new country. This was a newthoxight, and Isidor sat down and pon-dered over it for a long time.
"I must make friends," lie finally de-cided. So, instead of going to thesynagogue or the Beth Hamedrish,where the Talmudists sat at night andstudied, Isidor now went to the near-est coffee-house, and, night afternight, sat there, quietly, waiting. Then,one night, he met Skolsky.
Skolsky'was shabbily clad and hadwatery blue eyes. Ho came to thetabic timidly. "May I sit down?"be asked in Yiddish. Thero werethree or four groups of cardplayers intho room, but most of the tables weredeserted.
"With the greatest pleasure," saidIsidor politely. "31y name is Adam-owsky."
Skolsky beamed upon him. "Myname is Skolsky," he said. "Are youmarried?"
Isidor's eyes- opened in surprise, anda 6niil_ came to his face. "No," hereplied. "Unfortunately lam single.I wish I were married."
Skolsky's mouth opened wido, andhe stared at Isidor; Then, leaningforward' slowly, he asked, almost in awhisper,
"In heaven's name, why?"'Isidor smiled. "Is it not written inYebamoth, 'Ho who has not a w"ife
knows not what joy is. what good for-tune is, what blessing is, and cannot bocalled a man'?" "Skolsky stared at Isidor as if indoubt of his sanity. Then, slowly set-tling himself in his chair, bis lips curv-ing contemptuous_y, he remarked,
"Stuff and nonsense!""And does not.-tie Mishna; further
say," continued Isidor, "'Happy isthe man who has a handsome wife: hisyears are doubled' ?"
' Skolsky groaned. "Poor lad!" he re-plied. "It is easy to see that yourideas come from the Talmud and notfrom actual experience. At your age Iused.to think the same as you do. ButI have had experience."
He sighed dolefully."Not a sad experience. I hope," rermarked Isidor. "I have often read in
Sanhedrin, To the man who has losthis first wife it seems as if th© worldhad become dark !' "Skolsky, mournfully. shook his;head."No.'shois.not dead.;; My daughter is
alive too. Ah, mc! I wish I were, as; young as you and had all my life beforeme.!' ... . ■ ' '■
They chatted for a while and thenSkolsky departed. "I must he home atnine o clockj" he explained. '-'It is onoof my wifcs rules."
The next night they met again andthe next, and soon they fell into thehabit of a short nightly meeting during'which they discussed the philosophy oflife, tlie one from the standpoint ofTalmud and the other from the stand-point of practical experience. And Isi-dor began to learn. One night Skol-sky saiel to him:"My wife has been asking the rabbiabout you, and sho says I may bringyou home with mc. Will you come to"supper to-morrow?"
Thus it was that Isidor came to meetSarah Skolsky, and from that day onthero never came to him a thoughtthat, in some way. did not associate it-self with Sarah Skolsky. .She had bigbrown eyes and wonderfully shining bairand a tiny rosebud of a mouth anda face and a hearing that made menlook at her and forget what they werethinking of.
In those eyes of hers shone a spiritof proud independencewhich was some-what startling in a girl of her years,yet, at first, Isidor hardly observed it.When he/first saw her she was stand-ing beside her mother, and during thatfirst meeting tho mother's personality
| dominated and over-shadowed allothers. Isidor know but little of wo-men; their presence, he thought, wassupposed- to be soothing and pleasing.Mrs Skolsky's presence.'however, seem-ed to fill the room with some aggres-sive, turbulent element. There was no-thing in the -lightest degree unfeminineabout, her, but she seemed to radiate adominant, overwhelming spirit thatwould havo swept almost .anyone butIsidor Adamowsky off his feet. CutIsidor, as I said, possessed a strongphysique, a quiet manner, and an ap-palling .amount of will-power, and wasnot accustomed to being swept off hisfeet. He merely smiled, most amiably,nnd listened very quietly to everythingthat Mrs Skolsky had to say, glancing.furtively, now .and then, at Sarah.
"You are one of us, I suppose?"asked Mrs Skolsky.
"He must be," said Sarah, with abright smile. "He looks too intelli-gent not to be."
Skolsky drummed on the table withhis fingers and gazed at the coilingwith the faintest shadow of a smileplaying about his lips.
"I do not know what you mean,"Isidor replied. "I am sure, however,that whatever it is I would like to boone of you."
Mrs Skolsky frowned and Sarahfi owned.
"We do pot believe in compliments,"said Mrs Skolsky. "I was asking ifyou were a Socialist."
Skolsky came to the rescue. ''He isno Socialist," he said. "He attends the
■synagogue regularly."Mrs Skolsky smiled pityingly upon
Isidor, and Sarah frowned. Motherand daughter then conversed upon thesubject of direct taxation, leaving toSkolsky tbe task of entertaining .theirguest. Presently Mrs Skolsky said:
"Sarah and I are going to a meet-ing of the Karl Mutx Social Circle thisevenins. We will bo back at ten.Goodjiight."The next morning Isidor bought abook on Socialism and read it verycarefully. Two nights later he calledupon the Skolskys.
"Mrs Skolsky," he said, "I havefound out what Socialism is. I wouldlike to become a Socialist."
Sarahclapped her hands with delight,and Mrs Skolsky beamed upon him.Within a few days Isidor had become amember of the Karl Marx Social Circle.Within two weeks he read a paper on'/The Emancipation of Woman."
In this paper he explained, witbgreatcare, that through the long course ofthe ages woman'had always been mis-understood, underestimated, and down-trodden. She had been man's slaveandpuppet. "Her individuality had beenorti-hed. Her nobler self bad been sup-pressed. Man knew her oMy asamin-ister to his comfort andKis happiness;in bisVserious life she playeH no part.Now.all was to be changed. Woman, atlast, bad begun to realise her realworth, and, what was moro importa_it,tliinkimr men had begun to realise it,too. No longer would- sho be a'serf.The day of her independence had'dawned.
Isidor even dipped into the marriagerelation. "No longer," he cried, "willa noble, intellectual woman, matedwith a man vastly her intellectual in-ferior, be compelled to look upon himas her absolute lord and master, Tliomarriage relation is undergoing achange. Woman is now tbe equal ofman. 'The wife is tho equal of herhusband. The husband can no longercommand. He must discuss and com©to an agreement with his wife."
On the way home that night Sarahpressed his hand very tendorly, andIsidor was very happy.. "Your defence of woman and herrights was beautiful," she said. "Itwas like the voice of Truth itself cry-ing aloud. I made notes of all thatyou Said, and- I am going to write anarticle-about1 it-for. tho 'Socialist Gaz-ette.'- Have you any more ideas onthe subject that you did not include in-your address?"
Isidor smiled. "As a matter offact," he said1, "the subject is entirelytoo sacred for mc to discuss at anygreat length before a crowd of people.I have ideas about woman's place inthis world that I would not, discusswith my most intimate friends. Thetrouble is, you see, that woman hasbeen ignored too long. She needsemancipation. If I had my way aboutit every,woman in th© world would beemancipated to-morrow."
Sarah's clasp upon bis arm tighten-ed. '"That has been the dream of mylife,'' said she. "To be emancipatedis tho longing of my wholo existence."
The following night Isidor metSkolsky in the coffee-house. Skolskygazed at him reproachfully.'""What has become of all your Tal-
mudic views?" he asked, with a sneer."What has made you cbange all yourtune?"
"Tho world moves," replied Isidor,with a smile, "and we must move withit."
He had become a regular visitor attbe Skolsky household and, so gradu-ally that even Skolsky did not noticeit at first, had fallen under the tyran-nical-domination of Mrs Skolsky. Thisdomination took the same form withIsidor that it had with .Skolsky. Hishabits, the clothes he wore, the bookshe read, tho food- he ate, and the com-pany he kept, all came within thescope of Mrs Skolsky's regulations.Then, one night, to Mrs Skolsky's greatdelight, Isidor asked her advice upona business transaction that he contem-plated making.
"It is a question whether I buy t'nfslot of goods or not," he explained."It will cost a lot of money and willresult either in a big profit or a bigloss. There is no middle way." *Hewent into all th© details, speaking inthe abstracted manner of a man wbois.marshalling facts before him for bisown contemplation as much as for tbeenlightenment of his hearer, and, ashe spoke, his face began to clear, as ifho had suddenly found the solution forhimself.. "I should not buy," Mrs Skolsky de-cided firmly.
Isidor clasped her hand. "Exactlywhat I have decided upon," he ex-claimed. "You have a wonderful headfor business, Mrs Skolsky."
.During all this time Isidor's businesshad continued to grow, and he hadestablished, two branch stores in theneighbourhood.
"You ought to be rich some day,"Mrs-Skolsky said to him.
"Of course," he replied, smilingly."I intend to be."
To Isidor it seemed that Sarah wasmore beautiful each time, he _aw her.True, she lacked that gentle- yield-,ing spirit that he had always associat-
Ed in his mind witb beautiful women,but after devoting careful thought totho matter ho came to the conclusionthat ber desire to assert herself anddominate others was merely the resultof her mother's training and her ownframe' of mind and not the reflectionof her true nature. And when Isidormade up his mind on a subject he hadtho happy faculty of believing implic-itly in his own judgment. The resultof it all was that, a few days beforeP.urim, he told Sarah that he lovedher, and Sarah, smiling with happiness,"kissed him.
Mrs Skolsky was happy. The per-manent addition to-her household-of arecruit who recognised her authorityfilled her wit*- unutterable joy. "Iwill make all ..' . arrangements for th©wedding.'' she announced. "Sarah ondI will discuss the details, and you neednot bother about them."
Skolsky shook his head and' went offsadly to his coffee-house, where he un-burdened his soul to an old crony. "Hois a nice young chap, a fine fellow," 1_»said monrnfnly. "When I first sawhim I liked the look of bold independ-ence in his eyes. And he had such amanly, straightforward way. But nowhe's fallen, just like slave topetticoats.- Another victim 1 Ah, mc!"
Tlie one thing that Isidor had refus-ed to acquiesce in, despite Mrs Skol-sky's pleas, was that he should neglectthe synagogue.
"If you are a Socialist," she argued,"how can you go to a synagogue andlisten to all that claptrap?"
But Isidor merely smiled. ''It is ahabit," he said. "I should be unhap-py if I gave it up."
Mrs Skolsky held that the" weddingceremony should be performed by ajustice of the peace or an alderman orsome other public functionary whoseauthority entitled him to perform it,but Isidor pleaded' that this time—"only this once," he urged—a rabbishould officiate.
"My parents were married by arabbi and wero very hapy," ho said,"and I am "sure it will bring ns goodluck to do the same."
Much against ber inclination MrsSkolsky yielded. "It is all foolishness,"she said, and Sarah agreed with her.*'A marriage by o rabbi is an old-fashioned affair in which thowife takesher place, just as women have alwaysdone, as her husband's * slave. Youtwo are marrying on an entirely differ-ent basis. You will bo equal partnersin a new life. It is merely a legalcontract. Why should not a legal of-ficial perform the ceremony?They were married by a rabbi, andafter the ceremony the_.e was a greatleast, at which all the relatives andfriends of tho family sat down, andeveryone drank to tho health of thenowly-wedded couple and wished themjoy. The members of'the Karl MarxSocial Circle sent a huge basket offlowers, which seemed to give Sarahgreater pleasure than all the otherpresents she had received.* "It is a tribute to my intelligence,"she said proudly. "The other giftsmean, nothing."
During .the feast Isidor sat, smilingquietly, talking but little. One of theguests remarked:,
"By the way, Mr Adamowsky, I hearthat you made quite a tidy sum th©other day by buying that lot of goodsthat no one else wanted?"
Isidor nodded. Mrs Skolsky's eyesopened wide.
"Is that the same lot of goods youasked mc about?"
"The very same," replied Isidor."But I advised you not to buy, and
you said you would not buy," MrsSkolsky said, amazed.
"It is not a woman's place to med-dle in a man's business affairs," be re-plied coldly. Then rising, h? raisedhis glass. "My dear friends," he said,"we aro going off on a brief trip, andwe must leave immediately. Beforewo go I wish to ask you all to join mcin a toast to Mrs Adamowsky, mybeau-tiful,bride. A pious woman is herhusband's crown. And is it not writ-ten in the-Talmud that 'a really, piouswoman is she who obeys the wishes, ofber husband?' lam to-day the hap-jpiestman on earth. I propose a toastto a pious woman, tho loveliest of hersex."
Sarah, blushing furiously, gazed ather husband with a curious ' look inher eyes. Mrs Skolsky, pale with sup-pressed indignation, sat speechless.
_"Come, Sarah," said Isidor in a
voico through which rang a note ofauthority that she bad never beard be-fore. "We must start."
That night Skolsky sat alone Withhis wife, glancing at her furtivelyevery now and then, waiting for her tospeak. But Mrs Skolsky had nothingto say. Presently Skolsky arose,walked softly into the adjoining room,and—chuckled.
The honeymoon of tbe Adamowskyswas not the happiest in the world.They went to Niagara Falls, andeveryone who saw them knew that'theywere newly married, and, as far as allexternal signs went, they looked, per-fectly happy. But Mrs Adamowskywas undergoing a hew experience,; andhad not yet found herself. Each timeshe looked at her husband he seemedto be bigger and stronger and moreforceful than ho had appeared to herduring bis courtshi_>. And thero wasan air of reserve strength about himwhich was entirely new to her, andwhich rose like a repelling wall everytime a question came to her lips. Hewas kind to her, he was thoughtful ofher every want and need, and she real-,ised more and more how tremendouslyho loved her; but Shabbas (tho Sab-bath) came, and Isidor said ho hadfound a synagogue in Buffalo.
"We will co there," be said, smilingquietly. She felt that she was chok-ing. , ..'■•■',
"I have never been to.a synagogue,"she said."I know it. This is the first time."And, even through the light of love
that shono in his eyes Sarab saw—sawclearly—that she was gjoing to tho syn-agogue. When she was alone shew_pt. . -When they returned to tbe East SideSarah found a surprise waiting for ber.Isidor had rented and elaborately fur-nished an apartment without havingtold;a soul of his_plan.
"Mother said we were to live witbher," said Sarah.
Isidor looked at her with a twinklein his eyes. "Indeed 1" was all hosaid.
Sarah began to tremble. Tears ofrage sprang to her eyes. "You are amonster!" she cried. "You have liedto mc, deceived mc, tricked mc! Ibate you! I hate you! I hate you!"
Isidor folded his arms and gazed ather quietly. Then he seized her gentlyby tbe waist, and without ap_p»arenteffort raised hor from the floor andtook her in his arms as if sho wero ababy. Sho tried to free herself, butbe took her wrist in his hand. Throughthe sleeves of his coat Sarah could feelsinews as rigid as steel. And as hosmiled at her, her heart sank.
"Dearest little wifey," he said ten-derly, "we are going to be th© hazi-est couple in tbe whole world. I amgoing to be happy, and all my life longI shall make you bappy. You aro go-ing to be emancipated. Your wholelife hereafter will be free of all thosethings that .havo made you unhappyand dissatisfied. You aro no longergoing to worry your dear little headabout the big problems of life. You'regoing to let mc do .all the worrying foryou. If, in your heart, you feelthat you must influence mankind youcan spend all your energy on mc. Ineed influencing moro than the worlddoes. We'll never quarrel, becausethere'll never be anything to quaere!about. And Borne day"—he spokeverj_ slowly—"when you and I have
settled-, everythingand' "Vagroed or.*.everything, when we both decide"thatall this Socialism is a foolish thing forwomen'to meddle with; and whdn youare a queen . with our beautiful homefor your realm, then, maybe, wo willboth go to your mo_her and try toteach her." Then hekissed her, againand again, and presently she began tocry and her arms stole around his neck.
Her parents called upon her shortlyafterward, and found her rearrangingthe household furnishings and singing."Aro you.happy, Sarah?" asked hermother. ' ' . .-• ■ '■ <■ ■ '■'■•'
"Yes, mamma!""How pleased you must have been,"said her father, "to hoar that Isidor
has opened a big store on Broadway.""I did not know it,", said Sarah,quietly.Mrs Skolsky's eyes opened in sur~
tprisc. '•'• "Does be not discuss his busi-ness affairs with youP"Sarah proudly raised her head. "No,mamma, not. unless he feels like it. Youknow what the Talmud says, 'A piouswoman is she who obeys the wishes ofher husband.' And Isidor thinks allwomen ought to be'pious."
With a wild shout of delight Skolskyclasped his daughter in his arms andkissed her. , But Mrs Skolsky sat a_if turned to stone.
In consideration of the foregoing,deponent contends that in the conquestof the Fnited States of America byIsidor Adamowsky the odds are~ infavour of'lsidor.

LONDON, May 21.Mr D. C. Collins, of Wellington, is
the latest surprise in tbe English(cricketing world, and his" two "centur-ies" last week in the Senior's matchat Cambridge have not escaped thenotice of tho sporting critics. It isdoubtful whether anybody before hasscored two "centuries" in the Senior'smatch, and Mr Collinss many friendsin the Dominion will, wish him a. suc-cessful season. Commenting on thoperformance, "The Times*' says:—"MrCollins, a New Zealander, who battedso. finely on Friday, again showed fineform, accomplishing the great feat ofmaking a double century. Unfortu-nately be is a very slow bat to watch,but he is very safe, and when helearns to put moro power into hisstrokes, one might reckon on his be-coming quite a first-class bat." In tbematch Perambulators versus Etceteras,commenced yesterday, Mr Collins madeanother century (109). When ho facedthe attack he again proved himself tobe a capable and sound batsman,though he was far from steady at thebeginning of the innings. Having set-tled down, however, he played excel-lent cricket, reaching his 100 after bat-ting for two hours and a quarter. His
\chief scoring strokes are on the legside,but he also made some very fine cuts.

DUNEDIN NOTES.- -—.- � ' —-;(SPECIAL TO "THE PBESS.")
DUNEDIN, June 29.At the opening of the City Corpora-
tion's new gasworks to-day, the Mayorpaid a high compliment to Mr R. Eng-lish, of Chris_church, who has been theCorporation's consulting engineer. Hesaid that everyone was deeply indebtedto that gentleman for the manner inwhich he has carried out the worksfrom the initiation. He had carriedthem out within the three years whichhe said it would take to build them,and for a few thousand pounds lessthan the £55,000 which he estimatedthoy would cost.
Forty-three cases of whisky were de-livered into Milton within three dayslast week, the greater (proportion ofwhich were private orders sent directto Dunedin wholesale houses. Thisvolume of business constitutes a recordfor th© ptfriod in Milton.
Since Mr J. F. Arnold, M.P., madehis speech in tho House of Representa-tives advocating the appointment of aRoyal Commission to enquire into mat-ters affecting tho police force, be hasreceived, quite a sheaf of letters fromall over the Dominion congratulatinghim on tho stand he took up. MrArnold says he is fully prepared, atthe proper time, to substantiate all thecharges he has made. He has beenasked to accompany the Commission onits travels.
LICENSING CASES.
(PBXSS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)DUNEDIN, June 29
In the Supreme Court this morning,Mr Justice Williams, on an ap-peal, quashed tbe conviction ofAlbert Bond, who was convict-ed by the Magistrate for givingan order forliquor intended to be takeninto the licensing district of Oamaruwithout giving the person fromwhom tho order was taken a statementin writing of his name and address.Owing to the alteration of the boun-daries of the Oamaru district, whichnow includes part of Waikouaiti, theJudge hold it not to bo a district inwhich no-license existed at the time ofthe conviction. His Honour saidthat when licenses cease to ex-ist, then, and then only, dosection 146 and section 147, underwhich Bond was convicted, have anyoperation. If no-license was carriedin November in a district, tho licensesin the district expire at the end ofJune in consequence, and it is thenthat sections 146 and 147 come intoforce in the district.
Mr Justice Williams heard 1 argumentupon the motion for a writ of man-damus ordering the Awarua LicensingCommittee to grant to George Demp-ster a license for the Waikiwi Hotel,or,. in the alternative, to order theCommittee to hear and determineDempster's application. At the annualmeeting in 1908, the Committee grant-ed twelve licenses, one of which was atWoodlands. By the alteration of boun-daries Woodlands became included intho Mataura district, where no-licenseobtained, and at the annual meeting ofthe Awarua Committee on June 7th,1909, Dempster applied for a licensefor the Waikiwi Hotel in the Awaruadistrict, which the Committee refused,on tbe ground that they bad no juris-diction to grant such an application, soplaintiff prayed that a mandamus beissued. After Mr Neave had been beardin support, his Honour, without callingon Mr Adams, dismissed the motion,with costs.
"ZOO" BABIES.
ANIMALS AND THEIR SPRINGFAMILIES.
Br L_s_i» M-inlaso."Born in tho menagerie."Just now, when baby beasts and birds
are arriving almost daily at the Lon-don Zoological Gairdens, the officiallabel-writer must, bo quite tired ofpainting tho above little legend for thecages. Almost every section of tho gar-dens has its young family, from tho.placid Gayal cattle*, who never bothertheir heads about anything, to thomother wolves who are raging at thebars scenting danger to their cubs inevery voice and footstep.
For the most part, tho mothers tacklethe problem of rearing a family undernecessarily unnatural conditions witbconsiderable success, buthuman intelligence and science must becalled in to supplement instinct.
The camel is a specially capablemother, and the result of her trainingmay be studied in the humpless, un-steady infant she is now rearing. Al-ready the 'baby is well able to take careof himself. When tho spring dust whirlsinto his enclosure the infant camel liesdown back-to-wind and hermeticallyseals his mobile nostrils, laying hissnaky neck flat on the ground. SO hiscousins in the desert weather the sting-ing torture of the sandstorm, and thisbaby has already picked up the familymethods. .For some mysterious reason wolf cubsdo not flourish in tho'"Zoo,"- when leftto their mothers, and. at the presentmoment two collie .mongrel foster-mothers are bringing up-respectivelylittersof young timber wolves and prai-rio wolves. In both cases one" cub hasbeen left with the savage mother, whileone puppy is also kept with its ownparent to struggle and tussle for itsshare of nourishment among the babywolves. Though the cubs are youngerthan the puppies, their strength is ex-traordinary, and it is well that thelatter have a start in point of age.Centuries of domesticity nave evidently"softened" the canine babies, for thedark-hued, sharper-headed wolf babiesbold theirown with a puppy twice theirweight.
EXPERIMENT WITH A WOLFrMOTHER.
A few years ago an interesting butill-fated experiment was tried at thewolves' dens. When the young wolveshad been transferred to the foster-mother tho latter's three puppies wereplaced in the mother wolf's body-warmsleeping den, together with one cub.Halt an hour was allowed so that thelittlo ones might absorb the "scent" ofthe wolf, and then the fierce parent wasadmitted. It was hoped that a prettylittle adoption scene would result, butas a matter of fact the she-wolf gaveone dubious sniff at tho tiny intrudersand then slashed thrice with her fangs.The jpuppieswere dead, and the cub un-touched I
Adjoining tbe baby wolves a family ofbright young jackals prospers, also un-]dor tho care of a collie foster-mother.The maternal jackalhas twice previous-ly failed to rear her babies, which wast-ed under some skin trouble, and as she ,ate in an abnormal fashion she wasplaced under chloroform a few daysago. Then it was found that the jackal—either congenitally or by misadven-ture—-had no tongue. Sho was, there-fore, unable to lick their coats, thoughshe had made pathetic instinctive at-tempts to do so, and they had died fromthis curious cause. It would seem as ifnaturalists have rather overlooked thevital importance of this maternal "lick-ing into shape."
Another mother jackal, of the black-backed variety, has just lost a cub-not primarily by death, but just by"losing" him. She changed from oneburrow to another in her sandy enclo-sure three times in three days—a sheermania for senseless moving, apparently.In the bustle of packing up her house-
hold goods she miscounted her family,and one poor littlo cub was left behindand has not since been seen.
SELF-SACRIFICING PENGUINS.Extraordinary maternal devotion is
displayed by the seemingly stupid fe-male penguins which inhabit the sea-lions' enclosure. Towering at the backof Ihe pond stand twelve craggy feet ofartificial rockwork, from tho lowerslopes of which the sea-lions dive forfish. 'When tho penguins wanted todeposit their eggs they toiled on theirstumpy little legs right up the face ofthis crag to the very pinnacle, seekinga man-less solitude in the crowded gar-dons. On land these birds (which arowingless save for a skin-covered ''flip-per) can only move with a clumsyupright waddle, and it was marvellousto watch them -tumblinc and clamber-ing up tho sharp rocks to find a safo"nursery.'' When they needed foodthey descended in a series of flat-footedjumps, varied by an occasional solemnstagger, a sight of pathetic comedy.
Of a downright brutal mother, Bar-bara, tbe Polar bear, stands as a ter-rible example. When her cub wasbornin the recent bitter weather she carriedit in ber mouth for a few moments byone leg, and then callously flung itaside. As she paced past it she spurnedit witb ber foot., while tho wretchedlittle mite cried on the icy concrete bythe pond. It was half an hour beforetbe puny white thing could bo rescued.Mrs R. I. Pocock, the wife of thosuperintendent, with warm-heartedcbaritv, donned a knitted iacket andtuckea inside th© poor little morsel,which ceased its waib and went tosleep. When I saw thebaby Polar bear,wbicb was not a shapeless lump, but aperfect reproduction in miniature of itsparents, there were on its tender bodydamning evidences of the brutality oftbe mother—then fawning on visitorsopen-mouthed '•for buns at the bars ot-her cage. Tho young bear died nextmorning.
While recording the. cruelty of a"Zoo" mother to Tier child, it is onlyfair to give the other side of the pic-ture. An American bison (tho buffaloof popular fiction) was a perfect brute'to bis poor mother. Though two yearsold, and nearly full grown, tho Dodger(as he was called) had never given upth© nouriabment of his infancy. Howeighed a full ton, and his mother (asi_ the case with "all bison cows) was onlyhalf as big when matters reached acrisis. When his mother refused tofeed him he butted her across tho pad-dock. So the Dodger, witb tho assist-ance of thirty keepers and a two-inch•hawser, was formally weaned. It wasan affectingparting of mother and son.
APES AND ELEPHANTS.• No human baby gets better attentionthan do the baby apes. 'Fanny, thoyoung chimpanzee, and Delia, tho in-fant orang-utan, are fed on much thesame food as a real child. Lime waiter,tho1good old family Tedps for rickets,is .added.'to milk,/and were theyailing a JHarleyJstreet specialist wouldbe summoned instead of & "vet." When"Missi Crowther," the baby gorilla, wasill, a lady doctor, a well-known snecial-ist in children's complaints, was in at-tendance daily* Just like a child* thesooty little ape was coaxed back tohealth witb cod-liver oil and patentfoods. 'Mickey, the chimpanzee, whohas broken all records by living tenyears in tho "Zoo," is a cripple throughrickets j and the best'medical advice isbeing sought to save Fanny from a likefate. The young AMcan_el€*p!hant (nowgrowing quite a big boy) suffered fromtbe same complaint, and for a seasonwore "leg-irons/ just like any otherorthopaedic patient at a London hospi-tal, v;.:."
"Zoo" parents are not allowed toshirk their responsibilities. A.kangarooonce abandoned• her baby, which wasfound piteously trying to crawl intothe already-occupied pouch of a totalstranger. The.graceless mother wascaught by the tail and sternly com-pelled to resume her- maternal duties.
Such is tbe justice of the ZoologicalSociety. . v

_^^__mW^fTHE EFFECT OF FAITHFUL
WORKMANSHIP.Years ago there -were just two ways
of buying a suit—either to go to ahigh-priced tailor, or get a "slop •suit off the clothier's shelves, whichusually fitted where it touched. Men,'as'time went on, got too particularfor tbe latter, but oould not afford theformer.
Realising this demand for. a bettergrade of suit, TRIBE and CO, intro-duced a now manufacturing system bywhich they made smart suits to meas-ure from 456. These "took on" ■won-derfully from the start and- wo aremaking more of them to-day than ever
The'reason is two-fold. FIRST, goodmaterials and' good workmanship, andSECOND, bur widoand original guar-
| ante© to "Fit yon or rtAurn your1 money." Only good Colonial and Eng-
lish Tweeds are stocked, and. customersconsequently bave the choice of awide ratogo of the newest materials.We never have, and never will, stockcheap German or other shoddy goods,because they wii' hot'wear and alwayslose their shape in tbe first shower ofrain.
Aay Suit will give satisfaction whenfust tried on by the tailor, but thetesting time comes, when you havegiven it a bit of knock-about wear,and perhaps got it wet once or twice.If it keeps its shape and looks wellthen—and ours will--it has been faith-fully made. If it does not, you oughtto telltho man who "sold" you, whatyou think of him and' demand yourmoney back. You havo a right to it.It's yours, because you have receiveda spurious imitation—a make believe,a combination of shoddy material andthe hot pressing iron. That's no goodto you. You want value for yourmoney. ' '"'_._ ,
The Suits we make are the value-giving kind. At least, if repeat ordersprove it, they ere. Every suit m
* guaranteed to fit, has good Italian lin-ings, is properly stayed' and padded,and -out m any desired style, while ourguarantee of a perfect/fit or no moneyis the fairest-protection you could pos-sibly have.
It will pay. you to call and learnmoro about our System.

INDIGNANT CARRIERS.
EVICTION FROM CATHEDRALSQJJARE RESENTED.
The carriers who occupy the standsin Cathedral square are in a state ofviolent indignation at tbe decision oftbe City Council to cancel the rightthey have enjoyed for so many years ofusing the stands to the south and westof the Square.' Their indignation ismingled with scorn of tho new standsproclaimed by the Council. Tbey aredetermined to assert their right to oc-cupy tbe Square stands, and say thatthey will not tamely submit to the■Council's dictum.
A "Press reporter had a conversa-tion with ono of th© carriers whose vanoccupied a space on the serpentinecourse to the south of the Cathedral.Occasionally a steam car puffed huskilyby, and now and then the'monotonywould bo broken by the swish and rushof an "electric" bound for the ClockTcwer or Linwood. The carrier re-garded them darkly. "Th© TramwayBoard," he said deliberately, "were-thefirst movers to get us out of here. Theyfound they could not shift us, so thenthey asked us to move back, so as toallow passengers to get out of thetrams." The carrier then proceeded tosupply the motive of ' the TramwayBoard's animosity. "The Board intendto put up a shelter here, over tho path,if -.they get our vans away. But weare going to fight for our "rights. Wehave ha«fthis stand for forty-five years,and it is necessary in our business tobe in a central position. We ar© moreout of the way of the public her©than if we wer© placed in front ofshops, as the Council propose." Thespeaker went on to say that allth. carriers in th© Square wouldunite to fight the Council. Thesouth stand was used by over fortyvans, and the owners subscribed to payfor a telephone and attendant. Thenew stands named; by the Council wereunsparingly condemned, and it wasclaimed that the carriers would be sowidely distributed that they would re-quire at. least five or six telephones.The cost would be utterly beyond theirmeans. "Some of the stands fixed arequite out of the way altogether. .Aman might hs well be at home in thepaddock for all he will do." Some ofthe carriers got as many as forty percent, of their business by telephonemessages, while-others got very littlethat way. Our informant was-satis-fied that if th© • carriers were forcedout of the Square, many of them wouldfall on evil days. Some of them werenot earning very much a weekthese dull times, and if tbey wereshifted to the back streets they wouldprobably be forced to swell the ranksof tho unemployed. ''We aro quitewilling," the carrier concluded, "togive up two vans' length of the standnear the junction with Colombo street,and tho Tramway Board could puttheir shelter up. Our vans aro not asource of. danger to the public, anymore than the cabs on tho oppositeside of the Square are. In fact, thecabs are nearer the tramline than ourvans are. The real danger to the pub-lic is the shunting of the steamengine."
The reporter also saw "the oldestidentity" on the stand near the Godleystatue. Th© veteran had been on thecarriers' rank for about forty years,and he talked, reminiscently of thedays when the vans occupied practicallythe same stand, under the gratefulshade of an avenue of gum trees. Hecandidly expressed the opinion that theCouncil was" insane, and h© breathed'warlike threats of what was going tohappen if the' Council persisted in itsmandate. The new' stands mentionedho regarded with a contempt whichcould only b© indicated by an expres-sive sniff. The carriers, he said, would1stick to their ground, and not give itup until the last resort had been tried.It would spell ruin to many of themto leave the Square, where they wereeasily accessible to tlie public, and yetout of the way.
Another carrier on the same standbad similar views to those of the othersseen. He shared the opinion that thelong tenancy of the stand had giventhem a prescriptive right to occupy it.He unsparingly condemned the standsnamed by tbeCouncil, and was especial-ly bitter about New street (along wbichthe average daily traffic was a man anda dog) and Bedford row (which tbecarriers would cut up in five minutes).Th© others were, too far out of town,and the carriers would be too scatter-ed to use the telephone system. Theresult would be that th© business wouldbe diverted from the working carrierinto the hands, or carts, of the bigcarrying companies.
The carriers intend to hold a meetingshortly and take steps to bring theirprotest before the City Council.
IMPERIAL INTERVIEWS.ENGLAND AND ALIEN RESTRIC-
TION.
STATEMENT BY COLONEL SEELY(FBOM OtTB OWN CORRESPOKDENT.)
LONDON, May 21The most pregnant,cause of distrust
between the Mother Country and theoutlying jportions of the Empire hasfor years been in relation to Asiaticimmigration. Until quite recently thecolonies understood that they might notkeep aliens out, even if they desired.
Long before China was in the settledconstitutional condition in which shenow finds herself, tbe Imperial Govern-ment made it clear that the coloniesmust be very circumspect in . theirexclusion of Chinese. The colonies, onthe other hand, aware of the dangersthat menaced them, desired more andmore to keep the influx of Asiaticswithin bounds. For some years alltheir attempts to do so wero subjectto severe criticism and revision at theColonial Office. About a dozen coloniallaws restricting or prohibiting the im-migration of Chinese were disallowed,and the colonies fell despondently intothe belief that the matter would betaken out of their hands and decidedat Downing street in face of their pro-tests. It is not going too far to saythat the gravest antagonism of thecolonials to the Anglo-Japanese alliancehas been the latent fear that it will beused by the Japanese as a lever tosecure facilities fpr.the entry of Japan-ese subjects into British self-governingcolonies. That fear alone has madethe present alliance distasteful to manyloyal colonials.
The first signs of a more hopefulcharacter have come within the lastfow months, and your correspondenthas now learned sufficient of the atti-tude of the Imperial Government to beable to say definitely that the dangeralluded to has passed. I am able, in-deed, to send a definite assurance fromthe best possible source that Englandwill support tho.colonies in such anti-Asiatio legislation as they may con-sider necessary.
Colonel Seely, the Under-Secretaryof State for the Colonies, is pne of theleading thinkers and most intelligentadministrators on the Liberal side ofthe House of Commons, A B.A. ofOxford, he served in the Boer War,where he gained his present militaryrank, and the decoration of D.S.O.He was a Unionist when he was electedto represent the Isle of Wight in 1900,but he left the party in 1904, and re-turned to the House at the generalelection of 1906 to represent the Aber-cromby division of Liverpool in theLiberal interest. Last year his out-standing ability, debating power, andadministrative, faculty, were turned toaccount by the Government, in the.position of. Under-Secretary for theColonies. His work there has beenconspicuously tactful and acceptable.
■ The Under-Secretary, when asked foran interview on the subject, explainedthat he was prohibited from makingany communication in his private capa-city, but he kindly permitted mo tomake use of the following statement,to which, in effect, he has alreadygiven utterance on behalf of the Go-vernment on an occasion when yourcorrespondent was (present.. .It is,therefore, an authoritative statementof the policy of the Government., In the first place, Colonel Seely said,such a matter should not be consideredby English people from a superior at-titude. It was wrong to say, as peo-ple were tempted to do, "Surely allmen in the Empire are equal." Theymust not hold too closely to the prin-ciple of "Civis Romnnus Sum" and de-clare that a man who happened to bea citizen of tho Empire should there-fore'bo able to go where be pleased-Itwas easy fop people in England to ut-ter such .very proper sentiments, be-cause they were notin their own coun-try faced with any such danger as con-fronted some of th© colonies. Yet inEngland, objections were raised at theslightest symptoms of Asiatic immigra-tion. He had heard from the Presi-dent of th© Board of Trade that he wasproposing to take action with regardto Chinese on ships trading" on thecoasts of England. In face of that theyshould not? take up the superior atti-tude when they found the.colonies con-fronted] with a much greater danger.EuclidJ s statement that things whichwere equal to the 6ame thing wereequal to one another was not alwayscapable of application to political mat-tens, and could not J_e carried to itslogical conclusion, because of racialand economic reasons. He might quoten .wider Latin saying: "Homo sum,bumani nihil a mc alienum puto," orin English: "God made all men in Hisown image, and therefore all men aremy kith and kin." . . ■■ >'
There was a wider doctrine, but eventhat could not be applied to all econo-mic conditions. For example, Indianswere not climatically suited to theconditions of Canada, hut - there wereother reasons—he . might call themtrade union reasons—against their in-tioduction caused, by the determinationof the men in.the country not to havetheir, wages lowered, or a race intro-duced that could work for less because,on account of their physical qualities,they could live on less, and.because onaccount of their habits they did not re-quire such a high development of com-fort. That was- a point which mustnever be lost sight of. Great whitecommunities could not be expected toallow their economic standard* to belowered in this .way by a vast immigra-tion of those who could live on nextto nothing, who could work longerhours, and who required none of thoseaccessories of life to which' th© whitepopulation had been accustomed forcenturies. But the most importantdifficulty was racial antipathy. It wasall very well to say that all men werebrothers. There were many peopl© whowoulr'' not assent to that doctrine, andit was tbe duty of philosophers andChristians to remove racial antipathybeforo statesmen and. politicians werecalled upon to introduce an alien ele-ment. To take the opposite courseand enforce the principle that a citizenof. the Empire snould be able to go allover the Empire before a favourablestate of feeling had been created couldonly cause infinite suffering to bothraces concerned.
The first principle was that whilethey trusted' that the self-governingcolonies would realise to the full theimmense difficulties that must bebrought upofi. the Empire by a policyof cruel exclusion against- the threehundred million Asiatics who formed anintegral part of the Empire, they mustagree to th© demand that these colo-nies might exclude whom they pleasedl.They admitted that if a self-govern-ing colony decided that it must excludea certain class of persons the HomeGovernment could not interfere.Though tbe Government had no wishor intention of interfering with ourself-governing colonies in regard to thepolicy of exclusion, certain principlescould be laid down to which be thoughtthe whole of the Empire would agree.If persons wer© admitted, into a coun-try at all they must be given civilrights. "Free" or "Not at all"' seemedto him to be a sound principle for theBritish Empire. If anybody was ad-mitted under the British flag it mustbe as a potential citizen. A thirdprinciple they might lay down was thatthose who were already in other coun-tries should be treated fairly well andeven generously.
Colonel Seely has since made a publicutterance in which he unreservedly ap-plied the same general principles to theimmigration of aliens from outsido theEmpire.
MINISTERIAL.THE HON. J. A. MILLAR
Tho Hon. J. A. Millar, Minister forRailways, accompanied by Mr F. Thom-son, private secretary, arrived fromWellington yesterday; and left forDunedin by the first express. To-day tbe Minister opens the new dockat Port Chalmers, and during his visitsouth he will be engaged for severaldays on Departmental business. Hereturns north on Saturday, and goesthrough to Wellington the same even-ing. In the course of a brief inter-view with a "Press" reporter Mr Millarhad some interesting remarks to makeon various subjects.
RAILWAY TRANSFERS.Several important transfers in tho
Railway Department are to take place.Mr Richardson, workshops manager atAddington. is to bo locomotive engi-neer at Wellington, and Mr Evans,manager of the Hillside workshops, istransferred to Addington. Mr Haskins,Inspector for tbe Department at PriceBros.' works at Thames, goes to Hill-side, and Mr Bergh, of Wellington,goes to tho Thames.
THE UNEMPLOYED.The Minister stated that the Rail-"
way Department would be able to findwork for some men, but not very many.They had £250,000 for additions toop«n lines, and this would be expendedon the manufacture of rolling stock.In all probability tenders would be in-vited for ten locomotives, and the otherrolling stock (carriages and trucks)would be built in the Governmentworkshops. He was of opinion that thelarge staff of permanent hands alreadyemployed would be able to pretty wellovertake the work, but a few of themen who had been retrenched might betaken on from time to time as tbeywere found places.
On th© subject of unemploymentgenerally, Mr Millar stated that theGovernment had made provision toplace about 800 men, but their experi-ence in Wellington on Monday wasthat many of the married men who for-merly expressed a desire to go awaydeclined to go, as they believed thatthe local bodies wjere going to startsome works to enable them to remainin th© city. H© thsught that ifadvan-tage was taken of. the work now beingoffered by the Government the unem-ployed difficulty would be minimised toa very great extent.
Referring to the proposal that theGovernment should put on men to clearthe site in Worcester street for tbenew Customs houso and Departmentalbuildings, the'Minister was very em-phatic in stating that nothing of thesort would' be done. The job wouldfind emp*oyment for only a few menand for a very short time, and theGovernment was not going to do anyunnecessary work.
THE NEW CUSTOMS HOUSE.This brought up the question of the
erection of the new buildings, aject on which Mr Millar gave some in-teresting information. He said that assoon as the Government were ready,tenders would be called for the demoli-tion of the old tramway sheds and tbeerection of the new building. As tothe probability of an early start beingmade, the Minister was not very re-assuring. "It is a question of moneyentirely," he said. "Tlie Governmentcannot go on spending large sums, ofmoney on /public buildingß. Alreadyit is committed to £90,000 for a postoffice in Auckland, and it is an absolutenecessity that a post office should bogone on with inWellington, whicb meansanother £90,000. It can be seen howabsolutely impossible it is, after mak-ing provision for necessary school build-ings, post offices, and other public build-ings, that the Goverr__ent should goon incurring such c heavy expenditurefor public buildings. The original de-sign of the Clrris-church building hasbeen accepted by the Government,, butthe estimated expenditure is av"g_ei_.deal more than we can-see our wayclear for in this"year, .Therefore, it isproposed to put up half the buildingfirst, and the other,half later on." Thereporter asked if tenders were likely tohe called at an early date, but vMrMillar said that the Wellington postoffice would have to be attended to, asit was urgently required, and the Go-vernment could not go on paying rentall over th© place for post office pur-poses.THE RAILWAY APPEAL BOARD.The criticism aroused by the Minis-ter's exercise of his right of veto in a
recent railway appeal case was refer-red to, and I\lr Millar made a briefstatement regarding the attitude hetcok up. "My position as far as theAppeal Board is concerned," he.said,"is that I have no desire to exercisethe power of veto, except in caseswhere the Ajppeal Board goes outsidethe powers conferred on it. One de-cision of the Appeal Board, if giveneffect'to, would have 'meant an esti-mated increase of £80,000 per annumin expenditure, and it was in directcontradiction to a judgment' alreadygiven by the North Island . AppealBoard. : Uilder these circumstances Ivetoed, the recommendation. / As Min-ister for Railways I don't feel justifiedin giving effect to an Appeal Board'sdecision when'it involves an expendi-ture of £80,000. .without Parliamentknowing the full position and alteringthe law. That was about the onlycase in which I have exercised thepower of veto, excepting in one other,where a recommendation was madewhich I could not give effect to in theinterests of the public safety. Thefirst duty of every railway man is tbesafety of life ? and where a man bysheer carelessness or neglect has jeo-pardised human life, then, as far as Iam concerned, he will never be in aposition to do so a. second time. In allother cases, where an A_ppeal Boardhas recommended that a man has beenwrongfully dismissed, or an injusticedene, I have never attempted to usethe power of veto except in cases wherethe public welfare has to be consider-ed. I may say that a deputation, con-sisting of nearly all the Canterburymembers, which waited on mc in re-gard to a Canterbury case, were givenconclusive proof that the power ofveto was properly exercised."
THE FERRY SERVICE.The Minister stated that he had
made representations to the UnionSteam Ship Company in regard to theferry service, and h© would meet themanaging director in Dunedin. Heunderstood that the present arrange-ment was only a temporary one.
The Minister said that he had re-ceived a letter from Mr T. E. Taylor,M.P., suggesting that the Governmentshould put on ferry steamers betweenWellington and Lyttelton. *We arenot in a position to do it in the mean-time," he said. "All the money thatis available, and is likely to be avail-able for some years to come, is requiredto open up and develop the country.When tbe Main South line is throughto Picton there may be a change jnferry conditions, and we want to seewhat the result will be before going infor an expenditure of £250,000 on twoboats of the Maori class."
MISSIONARY WORK AMONGTHE LEPERS.
'. > ' ;" -t' ■"■ .* ■The Rev. W._Powell, agent of the
South Indian Baptist Missionary So-ciety and the mission to lepers of Indiaand the East, arrived in Christchurchyesterdaymorning. Mr Powell is travel-ling through Australiaand New Zealand,with tho object of. enlisting sympathyfor missionary work amongst the lepersof India, and he informed; a. represen-tative of "The Press" that he"had met with great encouragement bothin Auckland and Wellington.-
In the course of an interesting chath© outlined the scope. of the LeperHome at- Bapatla, Gnhtur district,India, established and. carried on byhim. Although no reliable statisticsare available, it is computed that thereare about three-quarters of a millionlepers in India, nearly all of whom arehelpless outcasts, desperately in needof physical'and spiritual aid. It is MrPowell's hope and desire to extend thescope of the mission. While in Christ-church his headquarters will be at theV.M.C.A., and on Sunday next be willoccupy the pulpit of the Oxford terraceBaptist Church.

SIDELIGHTS ON GERMAN PRE-PARATIONS FOR WAR.
We know, a great deal about the pre-parations which Germany is making forwar, but we do not know all. Weknow of the .urograniine laid down in.accordance with thft Navy Bill, weknow of the votea passed by the Reich-stag, and we know of the immense »d----ditions lately made, to Kruppsl works.These things are public, and cannotbo hid. But besides aU this open pre-paration, ih-ro ia a great deal which isgohig-on under the anrface of whichthe British; public is entirely ignorant.This is of theadvantages which a(praotioal autocracy. like that of Ger-many possesses over .Gr<.at Britain,which is governed strictly.in accordancewith Constitutional principles. Beforeany money cap be spent in naval con-struction in England, .'it-aunt-be votedby Parliament, where the discussion iscarried on in tbe fierce light of thefullest publicity. In Germany it isenough for the Government, to 'gmi ahint, and at once shipyards are stirredfrith feverish activity, or even newshipyards aro created, private capitalbeing furnished for the purpose. Tothose at the back of the enterprise, apromise of a German Minister is asgood as a vote of the Reichstag. Theyknow that it will be duly fulfilled whenthe time comes, and that those whoadvance the money will have no rea-son to regret having done so. Thus itis that Germany iB able to spring sur-prises uponus in the shape oi unlooked-for acceleration of tbe work of addingto ber navy.
A very striking article in the"National Review" for May, by awriter who signs himeelf "SemperParatns/* lets its into the secret ofhow all this is done. In the first placeho tells us that German Cabinet Minis-ters and Under-Secretaries of Stateareworkers of extraordinaryindustry, whodo not have to waste time on election-eering, political, charitable* or socialfunctions. With few exceptions, theyhave been trained in the service of theState, and thus ewe not amateur states-men. The higher permanent officials,conMnanders-in-chief, admirals, andgenerals, are almost invariably men ofexceptional ability and zeal, for birth,personal popularity, or even'social posi-tion count very little in the filling ofthe higher administrative posts. Forboth, the one guiding star in life iato be ready for the emergency of hav-ing to uphold tihe German Sag—theirsole hobby is to have everything readyin their respective departments aheadof time. Tbey do not hesitate to breakthrough red tape or even override aParliamentary vote, knowing thatmoney spent on armament, even with-out authority, will always be voted.It will be readily understood whata
"punt' this efficiency and this freedomof action on the port of Ministers andhigh officials gives to Germany, as com-pared with the mechanical routine andred-tape restrictions of tbe Englishmethods. But tbis is not aH. Germanshipbuilders, gunmakere, and the bank-ers who finance them, weare told, havesuch reliance on any verbal orders or
I suggestions made to them by the per-manent officials aa to preparing for,or getting on with, anyparticular struc-tural, shipbuilding, or gun-making job,that thoy will go so far as to com-plete the work, and even deliver it, be-fore the formal offer reaches t2iem.Theywill lay down plant and start newworks on the promise of tbe (sovern-mont'e patronage informally given.They know that they will thus assureto themselves a regular flow of orders,and probable prosperity for tbe induPtrial and banking firms concerned, andthat the "patriotic accelerationofwork"is a much quicker road to distinction"and social influence for the individual** manufacturer or ,banker than, say," thc road of philanthropy elsewhere."A case is given of a firm, not at allwealthy, but enterprising, in a city ofsecondary importance, who were pre-pared both to enlarge their ex-isting plant and also to lay downnow works in a more favoured locality.Government land was sold to thorn atmoderate rates on easy terms, and withJipccial concessions as to water rights.Prior to establishing their new worksthey received a promise of continuouswork for a substantial pericd both atschedule rates and at prime cost andprofit rates, which assurance, we aretold, made tho question of monetaryloans through an ambitious bankingcompany mere child's play. Numeroussidings wore provided from th© Govern-ment railways without charge at all, orin some instances only at a nominalfee. The best technical advice was putat their dispcsal gratuitously, bothtechnical and scientific members of theGovernment staffs being consulted. Sothat they might get tho right kind ofartisans, engineer and artillery officerswere given a hint to encourago smartyoung mechanics passing through theircorps to enter the employment of th.firm in question. The professors at aGovernment College received a similarhint to recommend theirbest pupils forthe technical and drawing office staffs.The Consular Office supplied the firmwith news as to possible markets fortheir goods, and Consular influence waabrought to bear jko assist in obtainingorders in South America and else-where. Tho result was that tho Ger-man Government obtained in aboutseven years the use of two shipyards ofthe very first order in equipment andefficiency in place of one only of minorstanding. W« havo no space left torepeat what the same writer states isbeing done to expedite the manufacture-of armour plate and gun-mountings
has been cited to show thatthe motto of tho German Government,aa it vas of Cromwell, is "thorough,"and it will ill betid© John Bull ii hedoes not wake up and make counterprepaxntiorfs in the same spirit of de-termination to havo promptitude andeificioncy at whatever cost.
"A QUESTION OF MORALITY."
*We have every sympathy for the genu-ine unemployed; who have exhaustedtheir savings, or who have really notbeen in a position to put by anythingfor a rainy day. We have nopatienceat all withtie agitators who_ are doingtheir best, to dry up the springs ofsympathy by patting forwiard unreason-able and impossible demands. One ofthe speakers who waited on the Mayoryesterday and was loudest in demand-ing that work should be'provided forthose who applied for it, and that theyshould be paid eight -hillings a daywhether they earned it or not, said itwas "a question of morality." Thismust be the-new morality of the newSocialism. The old morality taughtthat it was a man's duty to keep him-self, his wife and his family. It wasexpected that when he was in work hejwould not spend every .penny he earned,Ibut that, knowing there must come atime when work was slack, he would
1endeavour tosave a portion of hisearn-ings to provide for the 'grainy' day."The new morality apparently teachesthat a man who disregards thesepatent duties has a right, to be kepton full wages by somebody else who hasnot taken tho same light and airy viewof his responsibilities. The person withold-fashioned ideas of self-reliance and'thrift is, it appears, "a Shylock" if hedoes not accept this new view. A moreextraordinary inversion of ideas wassorely never before met with outsideof "Alice in Wonderland." No genuineworking man with a spark of self-re-spect oould, we feel sure, listen to suchrubbish without a feeling of shame forthose who utter it. The author ofthis-ama_ing doctrine said very trulythat "the City Council have to look"after all, and not a special class."Why, then, should the Council beasked to use the monej oi the rate-payers as a whole so that one special 1claw of workers should be guaranteedtheir 101lincome in dull times? Donot the incomes of shopkeepers, clerks,dairymen, boardihghouee-keepers, mar-ket gardeners and others fall off intunes of depressionP If so, have theynot an equal right to come to the CityCouncil with a demand that the defi-ciency should be made up oat of therates? So far from this being theease, it appears that they are to bedenounced aa Shylocks if they do notpgree not Only to put up with theirown diminished incomes, but submittoan increase in tbe rates, so as to pro-vide "eight-bob-a-day" for the out-of-works. Wo think we may say of the"New Morality" very much what MrHardoa-tle said of Tony Lumpkin'snew-fashioned modesty, namely, that itis very much like old-fashioned impu-dence.
GOVERNMENT OFFICES INCHRISTCHURCH.
Mr Millar'sattitude regarding the erec-tion of the new offices for the Customsand Publio Trust Departments, inChristcburch is neither so business-likenor so logical as might have been ex-pected. The Government .have bought
tho site and accepted tho design of thebuilding, but in consequence of the costof the -work, its commencement is to bedelayed indefinitely, the WellingtonPost Office having first to bo attendedto. "The Government cannot go on
" spending large sums of money on pub-" lie buildings," said the Minister, add-ing in the next breath that it is com-mitted to spending £90,000 each on thenew post offices in Auckland and Wel-lington. No one has'a stronger beliefin the necessity for economy than wehave, but in this case the Government'saction is really in the direction of ex-travagance. The true interests ofeconomy would bo served by buildingtho new offices in Christchurch asquickly as po__ible. "The Government,according to Mr Millar, cannot goon paying rent all over the place forpost office purposes. But why limitthis preference for tbe freehold to postoffices,, and why, if it must be appliedin that restricted application, is Christ-church to be excludedP In "this city,a_ we have shown before, th© Govern-ment departments are housed in abouta dozen different and widely separatedbuildings, the business of the PostOffice itself being conducted under tworoofs which, so far as the public areconcerned, are a block away from eachother. Omitting the Chief Post Office,the Tourist Office, and the old -tovern-ment Buildings, which all belong to theGovernment, the State pays in Christ-church alone about £I_oo a year inrent for the accommodation of branchesof the public departments. To this'sum must now be added the interest onthe cost, £21,000, of the site for thenew Customs Office, probably quite£800 a year. At this rate the section,metaphorically speaking, is "eating its"bead off." Surely it woulu be wiserand more business-like for th© Govern-ment to make a start at once with theerection of the new offices, and whilethey are about it, to make provisionunder tho ono roof for ay num-ber of the departments which are now,t_* tho great inconvenience of the pub-lic, scattered all over the town.
TOPICS OF THE DAY.
A terrible account of theHero massacres in Asia Minor isand supplied by Mrs Doughty-
Heroine. Wylie, wife of the BritishConsul. "For fiends in-
carnate commend mcto the Turks," shewrites. "Nobody is safe from them.They murder babies in front of theirmothers; they half murder men, andviolate the wives while the husbandsare lying there dying in pools of blood.Then they say it is the fault of theArmenians, because there existed a re-volutionary society of about sixty mem-bers who talked and wrote a good dealof rot. This is the Turkish way ofputting down a revolutionary society!"One houso near where Mrs Doughtylived, in which there were 115 people,was set on fire by these fiends, and nota soul escaped. Th© whole affair wasa ghastly orgy of blood. While MrsDoughty was dressing wounds in aroom, which she describes as a puddleof blood, a wounded Armenian wasstabbed to death as he staggered intobe attended to. The Turkish, authori-.ties looked on and did nothing. Theone bright spot in the hideous businesswas the behaviour of the Europeans.Major Doughty-Wylie did magnificentwork. In the French school were alarge number of priests and nuns and2000 Armenians. Thirty tried to.es-cape and were shot, but the Major gotthe rest out and took them throughthe Turkish quarter to safety withoutlosing a soul. .He was wounded in go-ing to rescue some Turkish- soldierswho were, reported to be lying amongburning houses. The house fromwhich hewas shot had a garden filled with dead,women and children, and it is probaoiethat some poor frenzied survivor tooj.the Major-for a Turk and fired in re-venge. .. Another Englishman refusedto save himself unless the Armenianswho had thrown (themselves on his pro-tection were spared. He got his terms.Mrs Doughty-Wylie herself behaved'like a heroine. The awful experiencesshe went through would have unnervedmostwomen, but shekept her head, andwas indefatigable; in looking after thewounded, inspiring courage nothers (ittook her an hour to persuade a Greekdoctor to help her), and begging theTurks to show mercy.
W© take our football veryThe seriously in the colonies, as
Labour English footballers haveof found out. It is told of a
Sport, famous Geelong player (saysthe "Argus") that the first
time a trainer was introduced into theteam's,dressing-room, and said: "Doyou want a rub down, Mr Watson?",he replied "Don't you lay a finger onmc. No man has everhandled mc yet,and I am not going to begin now. I'mnot a horse, to be groomed- with curry-comb and dandy brush." This is theold attitude, a trace of which still lin-gers in the English footballer.In the crack Melbourne teams ofto-day, strenuous methods of trainingobtain. Not only is work with the ballpractised regularly, and runs takento reduce flesh, but indoors ball-punch-ing, skipping, and other exer-cises are .practised to improve certainmuscles. When the player has finished'his course for the day, he has a bathand then lies full length on a couch,while a trainer kneads his muscles intosuppleness by massage. A photographpublished by the "Argus" shows six ofthese trainers at work in one room.The head: trainer watches each manoarefuUy, and gives him the exercisehe thinks he needs most—itis the trainer's duty to getbis men fit early, and keepthemfit. Then there is the coach, wholooks after the tactics of the game. Onecoach used to make use of a black-board, on which he would set out thepositions of imaginary teams, and askplayers what they would do in'certaincircumstances. Another coach teacheshis men to study the umpires. With:one umpire they can do a certain]thing with impunity, and with anotherumpire another thing. The veteranlooks with scorn to-day at all thesetraining operations, and says:—"Wewere just as good in our day as thesemen, and we went in for none of thisnonsense. We played on open grounds,wher* there was more gravel than
' grass, and you had to play with-
out anyone to rub you down, and wereglad to be able to walk home after thematch." The may nothave been just as good, but they gotjust as ranch pleasure out of the game,and perhaps more.
According to a writer inVenezuela, the New York "Post,"
affairs in Venezuela areheading for another revolution. When.President Castro and his followingweredeposed from power, there was a bravoshow of prosperity and liberalism, butthe fight for tbe spoils soon becameaouto again, and it is probably a ques-tion of only* a few months when thecountry "will bo split in a dozen revo-lutions, each headed by some greedy'factionista' patriotically struggling forhis place in the political trough.'' Thoreform Administration was founded onno moie secure a foundation thanhatred of Castro and his party, andPresident Gomez came into power ona wave of frenzied patriotism producedby this hatred. Th© new Govern-ment promised to aboLLsh all abuses,and announced themselves as the ad-vance agents of a general prosperity.But soon another side of this promiseof a golden age was displayed. Pre-suming on the guarantee of the libertyof the Press, some of the daily papersdiscussed the political and economicaffairs of the nation. They werewarned that if they mado themselvesunpleasant to tbe authorities theywould be suppressed, and when threeot them foolishly pointed to the Go-vernment's guarantee, the Governmentmade its threat good. Now there isno break in the chorus of journalisticlaudation of the Government and allits works. There is serious friction intho Cabinet, and in the streets thoprincipal subject of talk is corruption.Castro is by no means done with. Oncethere is an open rupture between theconflicting elements of the Gomezgroup, there will be a dozen revolu-tions, and Castro's opportunity willhave come. His. partisans are in Vene--u- la still, out of office and not at allwilling to stay there. Th© Govern-ment's fear of Castro's power wasshown in their dread lest he should re-turn, though it would have been toanswer .a criminal charge. Alreadyproclamations are secretly circulatedin the early morning calling on th©people to rise and throw off the "ty-rannical and traitorous" yoke of Gomez, j
ASTRONOMICAL NOTESFOR JULY.
(Br the Rev.. P. W. Faibcmugh,F.R.A.S.;
Jupiter is stilla conspicuous eveningstar. Mars rises red in the east about10.30 p.m. Venus is an evening 6tar,but not yet very conspicuous. Shewill be seen three degrees south of thenew moon on the 19th.
On' July 4th the earth is at her fur-thest jpioint from the sun.
The fine red star seen in the northin the "evening is Arcturus, a bodythought to bo , about half a milliontimes as g.eat as the sun, and to betravelling about 300 miles per second.
The return of Halley's comet hasbeen eagerly looked for by Europeanastronomers for many months past.Plates were exposed seven months agofor over three hours to the spot wherethe returning voyager must appear,but without catching a glimpse. Hehas. not been hailed yet, though wemay expect the cable to announce him-any day now.
Astronomical phenomena are ratherscarce just now, unless we regard MrWragge as one. His explanations ofthe Antarctic coal beds by the simpleprocess of altering the inclination ofthe earth's axis of rotation, his directconnection between a sun spot and alocal storm, and his prophecies of earth-quakes without specifying locality, areall .phenomenal in their way. They re-mind us of a passage in a lecture de-scriptive of certain "Lick" photo-graphs:—"©, ladies and gentlemen!Look! See! Behold! Beautiful! Splen-did! Magnificent! Amazing! GreatScott! I" The prophecies, explanations,etc., were all that. They were, more-over, excellent as advertisements—butthat's sublunary. As science, thoughthey made the unskilful go early, theycould not but make tbe judiciousgrieve.
When two celestial bodies collide andshear off from each other the j&rts thatover-lap, what becomes of the portionscut offP Where are they during theact of impact? They both want to oc-cupy the same space, but that is im-possible. How can they remain betweenthe two parent bodiesP Take twooranges and cut off a sixth, say, fromeach, and replace the slices. Nowbring tho oranges together, in .partialimpact, sq that the cut surfaces of themain bodies will slide over each other.Clearly each orange will push the sliceof the other orangebefore it. Now letus modify pur" illustration, and leavethe slices adhering by the skin at thesido opposite to the first impact. Inthis case -the two slices will be foldedup before the thrust of the mainbodies. The slices are not in collisionwith each other at all. Tbey are sepa-rated by the main bodies, and the pro-gress of tbe collision carries them fur-ther and further «ittert. These illus-trations are crude, but they seem toshow that the two fragments shorn offdo not unite between the collidingsuns so as to form a third body.
Let us enlarge our illustrations, andsuppose a collision between the earthand another similar body. We willsuppose that the velocities are such assuns would develop in their fall to-gether, say, 400 or 500 miles per secondeach. Let the area of impact be .suchas to shear off North America from theearth and a similar fragment from theinvading body; The impact may beginat the Atlantic coast and end at thePacific. The cut at the centre of thecontinent will be, say, 300 miles deep.It seems to us that North Americawould be thrust, torn, and blastedaway before the advancing foreigner.In other words the impact would notbe between the two slices, but betweeneach slice and the advancing front oftbe opposed globe. Tho cut surfacesofthe main bodies would grind over eachother with no third body between them.The portions shorn off, together with agreat mass of the cutting front of eachglobe, would be reduced to an explo-sive vapour of unthinkable energy.There are, however, not one, but twocentres of explosion which are everymoment carried further apart.
We had got thus far in thinking outthis difficulty, when a book called
"Worlds in the Making" fell into ourhands. It is by Svante Arrhenius, Di-rector of the Physioo-Chemical NobelInstitute, Stockholm (Harper and'Brothers, 190S). This interestingvolume contends for the im-mortality of the" Kosmos andrejuvenates dead suns by partial im-pact. On page 157 it gives a diagramof two suns in collision. The 'mainbodies are sliding past each other ontheir cut surfaces, while matter isblazing away in two mighty comet tailsof explosions from tho advancing orcutting fronts of the two globes. Theauthor supposes tho colliding suns towhirl round each other with tremendousvelocity during collision, and to throwout .these tails like torrents offire from a pin-wheel in fireworks.Tho two tails ultimately become thetwo wings of a spiral nebula.His diagram agiees with our contentionabout the third body, but in his textthe author seems to have forgotten theshorn-off portions, and does not tell uswhat- becomes of them. He does notappear to have thought out and work-ed out tho impact with care and skill.Ho thinks the collision will give riseto vast and steadily thickening cloudsof dust, which will rapidly obscure thecentral blaze. Ho thinks that theshock and friction of tho collision willset tbe parts not in collision spinningwith a violence that will use up a largeproportion of. this velocity and lead totheir coalescence. Surely Arrheniushas not realised how insignificant thecohesion of a sun is compared with theenergy of it? motion when in collision.
The force of which the Swedishauthor makes most use in his theoryof world renewal is "radiation pres-sure." That is, the "repulsive force"of the sun, the power of light undula-tions to sweep away with them matterof sufficient fineness, at a velocity ap-proaching that of the light itself. Thisrepulsion is seen in comets' tails, andpossibly in tbe sun's corona and in theZodiacal light. Arrhenius thinks thatvast quantities of light-driven dustpervades all space, is constantly beingswept away from suns, and from colli-sions, and constantly being caughtagain, especially by nebuhe, in whichthe dust becomes centres of condensa-tion. He even thinks living germs maybe carried from worldl to world by thisradiation pressure!
When time and space permit, we willreturn to Arrhenius. Here we havementioned him because his diagramsupports our contention that in the actof collision tbe two fragments cannotoccupy a space between the parentbodies. We read the book expecting inthe text, or in a footnote, to find thename of Professor Bickerton, who, inpartial impact, has nearly a generationof priority.

Recently Professor David lost "Am-brose," who, it should be explained,was one of the Esquimaux dogs of theSbackleton expedition. It was feared-that he had been stolen, but such wasnot the case. During a lecture at Syd-ney last week the (professor explainedthat "Ambrose" htvcl returned home;he had been on a little exploring expe-dition of his own, and got lost, buthappily was none the worse for it
Mr A. W. Hogg, '•' ex-Minister ofLands, addressed a very large meetingin tho Town Hall at Masterton lastnight, explaining matters in connectionwith his retirement from the Ministry.His speech (says a Press Associationmessage) was on similar lines to theone recently delivered in Wellington,and he received a most enthusiasticbearing.

Pending the time when he will becalled upon to defend histitle, Richard Arnst, the championsculler of the world, is going on tourthroughout the Dominion and the"Commonwealth. The pot must bekept boiling (says the Wanganui"Chronicle")? and to that end, thanksto the initiative of Mr C. Brown-Parker, "Dick Arnst's Athletic Com-bination and Picture Company" willtake to the hoards. Mr Brown-Parker,the moving apirit of the enterprise anderstwhile of the Tivoli Theatre, Auck-land, has planned what should prove areally good show, and the "boys"—which means the champion, his brotherJack, and Trainer Fogwell—are enter-ing heartily into the spirit of the thing.It will be a combination of champions.
It was Mr; R. Darroch, the chief offi-cer of tho Huddart-Parker Company'ssteamer Ulimaroa, who rescued the manWilliam Graham, who fell into Wolilington harbour on Friday evening(says th© "New ZealandWithout _ a moment's hesitation, SirDarroch jumped down between the ves-sel and the wharf and held up th© mantill he was brought alongside a string-er. There was a considerable range inth© harbour, and therefor© there wasgrave risk of being squashed betweenthe steamer and the wharf. Mr Dar-roch. who is a very adept swimmer, haspreviously distinguished himself bysaving life. On the voyage out fromHome by the Wimmera, when at Dur-ban he dived overboard and rescued adrowning man. About two years ago,when he was on board.the Wimmera,be 6aved another life under similar cir-cumstances in Sydney harbour.
Mere man has expostulated so oftenand so fruitlessly against the tyrannyof the matinee hat, or its floral firstcousin, which is equally successful inobstructing the view of anyone unfor-tunate enough to be behind it, that itcomes as a pleasant surprise to find amember of tbe offending sex entering amild protest. Just as Professor Davidwas beginning his Antarctic lecture atSt. James's Hall last night (says the
Daily Telegraph" of the 22ndinst.), before an audience comprisingmany women, some of Whom wore thelatest conceptions in head-gear, awoman's voice at the back of the hallsuddenly broke the silence. ."Hats offin front!" it said. For a moment ortwo the professor cast a startled glanceabout him, and then joinedin the burstof laughter which filled the hall. Undercover of the ensuing dimness requiredfor the lantern pictures, many hatswere stealthily removed, and a secondprotest seemed unnecessary.

That there were some big moas aboutthe Timaru district when the thick claydeposit was being formed has beenproved by tbe chance discovery of largeleg bones in the making of the 'excava-tions in th© clay (says th© Timaru"Herald"). A day or two ago anotherkind, of evidence of. the fact was thefinding of a well rounded and smoothedgizzard stone in solid clay that weighsfully three ounces. It was found in on©of the cuttings on Caroline Bay, aboutone-fourth or one-third of the totaldepth of the clay from the bottom. Asthe birds do not as a rule -pick upsmooth stones, this three-ounce pebblemay have weighed four or five ounceswhen picked up by the bird.

.Nearly all the evidence before theWine and Spirit Board at Sydney oneday last week was on the questionwhether boys employed in the wine andspirit stores got drunk with,what theyhad to handle. One witness said thatin his 9 or 10 years of experience hehad seen a dozen boys ao drunk. Howmany tim_s had he. seeit a single boydrunk? Why, once would be enough;the next time he'dbe sacked. But thewitness admitted later on that one ortwo, he thought, had got drUnk twioe.How drunk? Well, under the influence;they hadn't,been able to do their workproperly. He had "seen three or fourdrunk in, the last three years. Howdid they manage it? Why, when yourback was turned the boy could take a(putt ,out of the bottle he was. filling,or he could fill a glass or empty bottleat a cask. Or perhaps he might takea bottle down the cellar and knock itehead off. Aboy co-aid get a drink likethis with people working round him;one boy had, m the last six months.

A theatrical manager on the state ofthe money market in New Zealand:—"I don't know much about the depres-sion." said Mr Allan Hamilton to aWellington "Times" interviewer, "butI do know that the business*don© inDunedin, Christchurch, and Welling-ton by Chung Ling Soo anil Mr Rick-ards's Company is the best I have everdone in the Dominion. I think the de-pression must be greatly exaggerated.At the present moment my oramaticcompany is doing excellent businessoverland to Napier. When our friendSir Joseph Ward returns with thatten million loan and wool goes up to 2sper lb, I suppose everybody will behappy, but the fact is that New Zea-land has enjoyed such continuous pros-perity for so many years that theslightest set back is looked upon asruination by a section of the people.Some of them ought to live in Queens-land where their nerves would besteadied. One good year and four badones is about the average in Banana-land."

AUSTRALIAN CRIMINALS."I know from my own experience,
too, that what Mr Macmanamy says isquite true, and that the Australiancriminal docs very well abroad," saidthe Sydney Superintendent- of Detec-tives, Mr Boche, when asked recentlyif bir_ experience bore out tbe state-ments made by Detective THacmannmyon bis return from Europe. "When Iwas in London in 1897 after Butler, Imet quite a number of them. Theywere in society, wearing their top hats.One poor fellow, I remember, couldhardly make a- crust when he was here.I saw him there, dressed out very fine.He 6miled at mc, and came aoross andasked mc how I was. There is not thescope for them out here, you see. Thoybave to go to France or England orAmerica, .ust like the artists and menof other professions, for whom there isnot scope in Australia. Th© sharperand the sneak thief can only work inSydney and Melbourne. They becomeknown to the police, and when thathappens they are sure to get in beforelong. They find it better to co. Butin London there is an enormous float-ing population always moving throughfrom other places. You have only togo round the street corner in Londonand you're lost. Australians are veryquick-witted—like Americans—quickerthan the people of most other countries,and they do ve_y well abroad. I wasquite surprised to find men who werenothing in Australia—were sneakthieves, and not particularly successful—flourishing in liondon, members ofclubs, or moving in good circles."
WOMEN AT THE MISSION.The helter-bkelter after admission to
the Chapman-Alexander meetings inSydney one day last week resulted ina series of mad rushes, which somewhatembarrassed the missioners (says the"Herald"). The mission was then inits last week, so far as Sydney wasconcerned, and nearly 10,000 peoplewere addressed daily by Dr. Chapmanat the various meetings. That day thewomen oompletely outwitted the men,:who were in consequence turned awayfrom the doors of the Town Hall in j'tbousands. The lunch-hour service wascrowded as usual, and composed ornearly two-thirds women. The service-concluded at 1.45 p.m., 'but the bulk ofthe women present never left thebuilding. They refused to go out, andremained in their seats till 3 o'clock,when tbe next service commenced. Thatwas tbe way they soofed on at least2000 men who wished to hear what Dr.Chapman had to say concerning "TheChristian's Relations to Amusementsand the WOrld." And they tried tocarry the scheme even farther thanthat.. At the conclusion of the 3o'clock service fully 1000 womein re-mained behind again, determined tohold their seats till th© evening meet-ing at 7 o'clock. They had literally tobe driven from the building. And whenat-last they were got-outside and, tbedoors closed they lined up and preparedfor a tbree hours' wait and a finalrush. •■■'.*•

VOCES POPULI.There ia a large body ol public opinion
which, as concerning many vexing problemsot the day, is afforded no adequate'meansof expression. An attempt is made in thisform to gather a iew of the straws of refieo-tion which show the direction taken by thethoughta of that particularl- impressionableperson, the "Man in tho Street."
(13) Is Religion Losing Grip? Theplaint of a church officer—,;I can't tellyou why it is—nobody can, really:everyone has his own opinion in a sortof way—but there's no getting awayfrom it: our churches and religious in-stitutions are not gaining ground.They are losing grip, I think. That'seasily seen. Look round and teE mcof any church which was none toolarge twenty-five years ago and is toosmall now. I grant you that newchurches have been built since then,but that wasn't because they had be-come too small, but because they weretoo old or were unsuitable in someother way. We can only crowd ourchurches when there is som© special at-traction. The same thing applies toother religious organisations—the littlebands of open-air street preacbers yousee on Sunday nights. Tbey don'tseem to grow any bigger, and you seeth© same faces there month aftermonth, but no others. In spit© of thefalling birth-rate many of our schoolshave had to enlarge at different times.Our general population has grownenormously during the last few years,but the people ar© not going to church,that'sa certainty. I don't think it can[be said that they are out of touchwith good influences. Th© churches areout of touch with them, but why theyare is beyond mc."
(14) Crime and the Criminal: Apolice officer's observations—"The cri-minal keeps on committing crime, notbecause he hopes to make a living outof it, but simply because he is too lazyto do anything honest and bis naturewon't let him try. The man "with thecriminal taint can't go straight,, andafter a man has been convicted a fewtimes the same thing happens. Wehavo often gone to a lot of trouble toget a man a job after doing time, Butit nearly always happens that he can'tkeep honest, and w© are blackguardedforsending the employer a 'crook.' Thecriminal won't let himself think of tbefuture. If you ask him what he willdo when he grows old he simply can'tsay. Gaol life is made very comfort-able once they get over feeling thedisgrace. They have the best of food,and company to their liking. Gaol isnothing to them. It's all part of thegame they have started to play. Butthe cruellest part is when a tellow getsin for the first time and wants to turnover a new leaf, the old hands Svon'tlet him. If they find him in a goodsteady job they will 'play him out' anddemand money from him with a threatof telling everybody that he bas beenin gaol. Lots of the weak ones are ledinto crime again in that way, andonce they lose the feeling of shameat being in gaol they are gone forever. Criminals look on themselves asa separate class from ordinary people,and think everyone outside their cliqueis fair game. The hardened gaol bird'never reforms because he has nothingto fear. Gaol is the only thingWe havefor them, and they don't mind that alittlebit."

Mediums are con-stantly taking the platform under theauspices of the Association, and pur-porting to give messages to all andsundry from the world beyond, and yetwhen it comes to a simple test, such asdeclaring a number placed in a sealedenvelope, they take refuge in the pleaof infra dig.

LABOUR EXCHANGES.INSURANCE AGAINST UNEMPLOY-
MENT.jTHE GOVERNMENT SCHEME.
(from ora own cokbespokdent.)LONDON, May 21. j
The policy of the Government'withregard to labour exchanges' and insur-ance against unemployment has beenoutlined by Mr Winston Churchill inthe House of Commons. The President ■of the Board of Trade laid before Par-!liament tbe main features of two high-ly important and far-reaching schemesof social legislation. One of them is inthe form of the Labour ExchangesBill.The other—a system of compulsory In-surance against unemployment, • apply-ing only to certain specified groups oftrades—is not to make its appearancetill next session, when, Mr Churchillindicated, provision will also be madetor insurance against various forms ofinvalidity.
Th© scheme for the establishment oflabour exchanges is to be uniform andnational, but voluntary. Tbe countryis to be divided into ten areas, eachwith a divisional clearing-house, andall being co-ordinated with a nationalclearing-house in London. There areto be first-class labour exchange, in thelargest centres of population, second-class exchanges in those less' thicklypopulated, and tbird-cla%s in the•small places, all having waiting-rooms.Control of the system is to be exer-cised by the Board of Trade, but, tosecure absolute impartiality- as betweencapital and labour, a joint AdvisoryCommittee is to be established in everyprincipal centre. These committees areto consist of representatives of em-ployers and workmen in equal numbers,under the chairmanship or an impartialpermanent official. If Parliament bewilling to pass the Bill without muchopposition, the President of the Boardor Trade hopes to bring the system itproposes into operation over the wholecountry in the early months of nextyear
The Government desires to associatea system of unemployment insurancewith the system of labour exchanges.It is not regarded as practicable toestablish in the first instance a univer-sal system of unemployment insurance.,but it is intended next year to intnvduce a Bill compulsorily applying ascheme of insurance to a group of fivetrades, including the general labourerworking in those trades. Th© tradesemploy two and a quarter millions ofwork peoole, and are as follow:—(1)House-building and works of construc-tion; (2) engineering, machine andtool-making; (3) ship and boat building;(4). vehicles; (5) sawyers.
The scheme is to present four mainfeatures:—(l) There are to be contri-butions from both work people and em-ployers. (2) These contributions are tobe supplemented by a substantial sub.vention from the State. (3) The sys-tem is to be one of insurance by trades.(4) It will be compulsory within thespecified trades upon all, unionists andnon-unionists, skilled .and unskilled,workmen and employers alike.
The scale-of benefits to be aimed atis to be somewhat lower both in amountand duration to thos© now paid by thestrongest trade unions. They are, how-ever, to afford substantial weekly pay-ments over the greater; part of theaverage period of unemployment in theselected trades. The. amount to beraised per bead per week is to be some-thing between 5d and 6d. The contri-butions' from employers, workmen, andthe State are not necessarily to boequal. Following the Germanplan', in-surance books are to be issued. Tothese books stamps will be affixed everyweek. A worker, on losing his employ-ment, will take his book to the near-1est labour exchange, which will eitherfind him a."job','.or pay him his pen-sion. •,.'■,;' ; •' . '-•' Finally, Mi"'Churchill announced thatth© Xabohr Department of the Boardof Trade is to he divided into threedis-tinct _>ections, dealing witb—(1) Wagesquestions, arbitration, conciliation/andTrade. Boards- (2) Statistics, th© cen-sus of production, special enquiries, andclerical staff.! (3) Labour exchangesand unemployment insurance, workedinconjunction. One of the functions of
third section will be to act as akind of intelligence bureau, to watchthe changes of the labour market hereand abroad, .to actas a counterpoise tothe unregulated movements of thatmarket-, and to deal with schemes ofpublic utilityset on foot by the Govern-ment..

THE UNEMPLOYEDPROBLEM.
FULL RATES STILL DEMANDEDDEPUTATION TO THE MAYOR
Despite the numbers of men beingfound work by the Department of La-bour, there still remains a number ofmen looking for work in or about thecity*. Between twenty or thirty of theseformed themselves into a deputationand waited on the Mayor shortly afternoon 3-esterday. In addition to theMayor, there were oresent Crs. Cooperand Otley and the City Surveyor , andTown Clerk.
WORK WANTED.W. Kilgour was the principal speaker
for the deputation. He first asked :fthe Mayor could see his way to increasethe number of men employed by theCouncil from 50 to 80.
In reply, tho Mayor cited the de-cision the Council arrived at on Mon-day evening, to employ one-half ofthe men for on© week and the otherhalf the next week. Mr Kilgour thenasked if it would not be possible toput in hand grubbing gorse and otherimprovements at the Sydenham Ceme-tery.
In reply the Mayor stated that theSydenham Cemetery account was £539s 7d overdrawn on Monday.
THE COUNCIL'S FINANCES.Asked if.there were no public ser-
vices that were paying, the surplusfrom which could be used for suchwork as the erection of municipal mar-kets, the Mayor replied that the im-provement of the Linwood cemeterywas practically the only work that theCouncil had funds available for atpresent. Other works to be donecould not be gone on with because theCouncil had not got money, and in thecase of concrete channelling, the wea-ther was not suitable. He added tbatthe work provided by the Council fortbe unemployed was involving an ex-penditure of £500 per month morethan usual—i.e., over and above theCouncil's ordinary expenditure.. Thiswas apart from the subsidy from theHyman Marks Trust, and was allowingfor broken time. During the pasttwo or three years it had been a strug-gle for the Council to keep within itsauthorised overdraft. At present thedistrict fund account was overdrawn tothe extent of £23,887; last year's rateshad amounted to £45.000, and therewas still three-fourths of the municipalyear to come.- In addition, severalother accounts were overdrawn, and ifthe debentures in connection with theloans authorised in respect to theseaccounts were
_not sold, the
district fund would have to beresponsible for the expenditure incur-red. When times improved the de-bentures would be sold at tbe ratesauthorised, but in tbe meantime thewcrks had to be financed as indicated.
Cr. Otley (chairman of the WorksCommittee) pointed out that the ex-penditure of £1 on labour involved anexpenditure of £2 on cartage, which
' was a heavy item. He thought thatthe Government, if anyone, shouldsteip into the matter of- finding work.The Council was doing the best itcould. Everyone must feel sorry tbatmen were out of work, but the Coun-cil's duty to the ratepayers demandedthat they must get value for the rate-payers' money.
A QUESTION OF MORALITY."It's a question of morality," said
Mr Kilgour. "Men are willing towork, and you want to get as muchout of them at the relief works at tholeast possible expense; I don't thinktbat is relief at all. I take it fthat'relief means to relieve.men of their
To talk to menwhose wives are on the verge of con-finement, men who have nothing where-with to meet their liabilities—l thinkit'is criminal to talk to such men likethat. You have been vested with cer-tain powers, and you haye to look after.all, and not a special class—the realratepayers are the rent-payers. Areyou doing morally right when you de-mand a good day's work—equal tothat of a born navvy—from these men,and then you reduce their wages whenthey cannot do the work Tho costof living is one-third more than thewages you are giving. . It is a criminal
to say, as Shylock did, thktyou want a pound of flesh for every£1."
"We are doing work that is not re-quired," Cf. Otley-replied, "and forthat work we are prepared to pay itsvalue. The Council, I feel sure, is doingall it possibly can. You must remem-ber tbat what the Council is doing isonly. temporary in character."
Mr Kilgour thought that the State. and the municipalities should devisesome scheme to prevent unemployment.The conditions of things might be worsenext year. . ». .Cr. Otley: "I hop© not!"
The Mayor said that the Council wasnot prepared to go into the ethical as-pect of the question: it could-only dealwith it from a practical point of view._ls' to the wives of the unemployed,he had asked Mrs Wilson to let himknow of the cases requiring assistanceso that they could receive attention.Replying to one of the whostated that -the majority of those whohad been requested to get permits hadbeen refused them, th© Mayor said hedid not think that those men who hadworked for two days at Bs, and had toget permits, would be allowed to finishthe week at the 8s rate. Some extra-ordinary cases had come before thoCouncils-cases of men not worth 2sper day: he had had paralytics, apply-ing.'A considerable amount of desultoryconversation took place, but for the
most part the deputation weretravelling in a" circle and going overthe same ground.
Finally, Mr Kilgour said, addressingthe Mayor: "I suppose you can giveus no hop©?','
The Mayor said he could say nothingbeyond what he had said .in respect tothe Council's decision. The wholematter would be reviewed at the nextCouncil meeting.
Asked if ho would urge on th© Go-vernment to put in hand the clearingof the site for the new Customs-house,the'Mayor replied that the Council hadno more right to tell the Governmentwhat work it should put in hand tha ithe Government had to tell the Coun-cil what work it should undertake. HisWorship intimated that the names ofanen to be taken on would be postedoutside the Council offices.
The deputation then withdrew.SIDELIGHTS FROM THE DEPU-. TATION."I have seen something of how some
of these men work," said Cr. Otley. "Iwas coming from Addington this morn-ing anjd saw one of the men 'working'oi) the Lincoln road. That man was not-earning 2s a day and was not tryingto earn it. All I expect a man to dois to try to do his best; but that manon th© Lincoln road was not trying."
"A man who gets food will work,"remarked one of the deputation, "butif a man can't get food he can't work;he can't work on an empty stomach."Cr. Otley said he could not understandthis, as men could get tho money dueto them at the end of each day. Someof the deputation said that tbey hadnot- been aware of this. Cr. Otley point-er out that this system bad been adopt-ed in connection with relief works ihpast years.
Said the Mayor: "We applied to theGovernment for assistance for thework_ess some time ago and tbeywouldnot assist. Christchurch is not re-sponsible for the unemployment. A lotof people out of work have been here
I only a few weeks and many of themonly c few months. Is it right thatw© should induce others to come to this
city and give them 8s a day? If we_id we should be flooded with peoplefrom the country. The City Councilis not in a position to become thegeneral employer of the country. MrKilgour: "We don't ask you to supplywork for men from outside tbe city.The Mayor: "That is what your de-mands amount to. I have bad" a lotof letters from people outside the city,wanting to know if tbey can comein."
One of the deputation, who said tbatbe had fought in South Africa, sug-gested I'repatriation camps" should beestablished. The Mayor replied thatthe Charitable Aid Board would giverelief to necessitous cases. "We don'twant charity," said Mr Kilgour, "wewant work I"
"i nave wor_..a ou uij; -.mr-.i.- mGermany. Belgium, France, Hollandand Sweden,", said one of tho deputa-tion, "and have seen the unemjpioy-ment question there, and there wasnever any trouble about the wage—they gave every man the same wago."Cr. Otley_: "Whether he earned it ornot?" "Yes," replied the man.
"People on the verge of starvation."said one of the deoutation, "should bethankful for anything they can get;they have no right to ask for highwages when starvation is in sight."—Mr Kilgour: "That's your opinion; wellyou can look after yourself 1
"I have never heard of such a highwage as Gs per day on relief works,"remarked the Mayor.
"At harvest time the farmers wantyou," said ono of the deputation, "butnow tbey don't want you."
The Mayor stated that on Saturdaylast a prominent farmer had told himtbat a threshing machine in his dis-trict bad shut down because there wasno labour available. He had told thofarmer tbat if he could show him wherea 'hundred men were wanted, he couldlet him have them in two or threedays.
PROPOSED MILITARY ROAD.The President of> the Navy League
("Major Hobday) is submitting to th©Mayors of Christchurch and of Lyttel-ton a suggestion with regard to theformation of a military road fromEvans Pass to the Lighthouse. Thiswork, Major Hobday holds, is one ofurgent importance, and if put in handwould give employment and so relieveto some extent tho present state oftbings in the labour market.
THE PERMIT QUESTION.Mr A. Patterson, secretary of the
General Labourers' Union, informed areporter yesterday that eight men hadapplied for oermlts, and two had beengranted. The other six had been re-fused, because it was considered thattho men were capable of earning thefull rate. Yesterdaythere were 58namesof members of the Union on the em-ployment book.
GARDENING WORK.A number of the unemployed are
wroth at statements alleged to be incirculation that they are not able tododigging in gardens. At the SocialistSociety's rooms yesterday abouttwenty mon were in attendance andasked a orepresentativo of "The Press"to state that they wero all capable ofdoing and ■ willing to accept anyamount of digging in gardens or any-where else, and would do the work atrates that would not violate any award.Their spokesman said that most ofthe men were married men, some withlargo families, and wore in arrears withtheir rent and with their grocery bills.In view of'this state of affairs it wouldbe criminal, h© added, to ask men.towork for less than award rates. f
A list of the names and addresses ofthe men—24 in 'all—was supplied tothe reporter and may be consulted atthe Press Company's office by employerswanting digging done. Th© men donot pretendto. bo expert,gardeners, butstate that they are willing and able todo digging.
AT THE LABOUR BUREAU.Of the 22 men who were to go to the
Midland Railway works between theCass and the Bealeyyesterday 'morning,eighteen turned up. Only six out "ofthe ten men who were to leave onMon-day night for the.busbfelling work inthe North Island left by that night'ssteamer. It is probable that anotherlot will be sent by. Thursday night'ssteamer. -Most of the mon applying at thelocal office of the Labour Departmentare strangers to tbe officials. Difficultyis being experienced in gettingmarriedmen to take work out of town.
"I am well satisfied myself, and Ihave been treated well by the Coun-cil," said ono of the deputation, "butI think it is unfair to say that wo areincompetent because, in my case, nay-vying is not my trade. But I willwork alongside these men (meaningnavvies) and do as much as them. Ithink we ought to be thankful tbat weget a little work." Cr. Otley explainedthat as regards the competency of themen on the works the Council had tobe guided by its foremen.
THE SITUATION IN TIMARU.So far only half a dozen unemployed
from Timaru have signed on for workat Broken River. There are very fewmen out of work there. Some menfrom Dunedin who applied at theTimaru office of the Labour Bureau forwork at Broken River were told thatthey must apply through the Dunedinoffice.
At Monday -night's meeting of theNew Brighton Borough Council a letterfrom the secretary of th© GeneralLabourers' Union regarding permitsgave rise ,to some discussion, and amotion to employ one man at six shil-lings per day, if he obtained a permit,was agreed to, tho Councillor ,whoseconded the motion stating that hodid so, as a protest against the actionof the union in withholding permitsand allowing men to starve. Aletter was received from thoTown Clerk,Christchurch, asking the Council 'toassist the unemployed by putting ad-ditional work in band. The clerk wasinstructed to reply that the Council.was employing additional men, andothers would be employed as .soon asth© new works could be put in hand.
The ' Mayor of Ashburton (Mr H.Davis) in reply to a query put to himat the fortnightly meeting of the Coun-cil on Monday evening, said the un-employed question was not acute inAsbburton at present, for since th© lastmeeting only three persons had appliedto tho Town Clerk for relief work.
THE POSITION IN AUCKLAND.(SPECIAL TO "THE PRESS.")
AUCKLAND, June 29.There aro still a number of men out
of work in Auckland,. and .the localbranch -of the Labour Department isinundated daily with applicants foremployment. Two days have beenspent in obtaining tbe names of un-employed, in order to select a partyof about 100 men, who are to be sentto Gisbome to do bush-felling in con-nection with the railway works. Mar-ried men amongst those suited to thework are being given the preference.The selection was partially completedto-day, when the first batch ofmen wassent down to Gisbome. Th© serious-ness of the position for the unemployedis fully recognised by the Labour'D-epartment, and the officials are losingno opportunity of placing the men.Owing to the present bad weatber,however, outdoor work is scarce, endthe avenues of. employment are in anycase limited, and' likely to be sothrough the winter. Some of the un-employed appear to be in particularlysore straits, as householders are receiv-ing visite from them with requests forfood and odd jobs. In one or twoinstances the men driven to this mod©of living state tbat they are sleepingout at night in the parks and1 else-where. It is felt that if those able todo so were to make for the country
districts, they could obtain employ-ment more easily; but amongst someof the unemployed thero seems to bean aversion to leave the city.

ThisSrediction. is being fulfilled most un->rtunately for Auckland province.With the close of the month theDrury evening train will be discontinu-ed1, on tho ground that it does not pay,but there is not" even a suggestionthat the Central Otago trains will besuspended, although th© Governmentloses heavily upon the whole of them,and must run most of thero at a crip-pling loss. If the last 500 miles ofrailways built in the South Island hadbeen constructed in tho North Islandinstead, there would be no necessityfor any parsimonious and unbusiness-like economy upon promising Northernrailways. What is evidently happen-ing is that Northern railway profits arebeing so exhausted in making goodSouthern railway deficits, that theRailway Department is driven to starvetbe growth of Northern business."
